Sunday, November 10th

 

Today is Sunday, we will be home tomorrow, late. Last night was formal night and tonight is ‘fall back’ night.  We will finally be able to have all of our time pieces in synch.  Today is packing day, always a bit sad.  At the same time, we are ready to be home.

Friday, we visited our final port of this cruise, Mazatlán.  We have been here several times on past cruises.  It is considered the most dangerous of the Mexican Riveria ports, with drug cartel activities.  We went ashore, but stayed in the immediate port shopping area.

The other ports have had police presence in view, as well as coast guard gun ships nearby.  There have been full camo dressed soldiers with automatic weapons at each port.  The shopping area at the pier, actually a working freight pier, had very few police or soldiers. 

We were not looking for anything but saw a great t shirt that a friend back home would like.  Texted him with a photo and a price when we were back on board and he did want it.  So back out we went for it.
