MAZATLAN, MEXICO - May 17th- Anna's Birthday

I had another quiet day while wet were in the port of Mazatlan, Mexico but we had a FUN evening celebrating Anna's Birthday!.We had a nice group dinner in Thistle - Jimbo, Anna, Bob & Sarah, Sherrie, Bosco and Me. Afterwards we played games - a super competitive game of DOG. Sarah & Jim came from behind and won! Anna & I had been front runners! WE WERE SOOOO CLOSE!!

Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.

More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!

MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
