LA PAZ, MEXICO

We had a gorgegous day to explore the resort town of Las Paz, Mexico.   It was nice to see other tourist walking around and not just other Ship people. The architecture was interesting, a significant amount of old, renovated and new mixed together. The streets were clean and tree lined and there was some interesting shops and restaurants. Shockingly, there was a large SEARS store and it was high end merchandise.

We also found some Fun mural arts lining the city streets and a lot of sculptures lining the Malecon.

We wandered into some of the shops, had a late yummy lunch & drinks up on a rooftop over looking the beach and enjoyed the day!

I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!

I got to go Sailing Again! We were supposed to head to the COOK ISLANDS after the lovely Rangiroa and the Tuamotu Archipelago, but due to stormy weather there, with all unprotected tender ports, they made the decision to head us southwest, back to the protected port in Papeeta (Tahiti). We got lucky and Holly ( pictured below) found us a sailboat available for charter.

Since Janette Emerich is generous enough to share her drone photos with all of us on board the Ship, I have to share them with you all. This beauty is why I said we felt like we were in a screen saver the whole day in Rangiroa! I love the height perspective in the photos it really captures so much more. Blue Lagoon below:
