Today was a early morning- we were able to have a sit down breakfast in the dining room Tritons though so that was a nice change of pace from the buffet breakfast we had been having. At 9:00 we headed down to the family Promenade lounge to meet for our excursion for the day- the San Jose city and shopping tour. The boat was only in port from 8am to 1:30 today. We all got on the tender boat right away and headed to the Marina where we boarded an air conditioned grayline type bus. We drove for the next 20 minutes or so out of Cabo San Lucas to San Jose del Cabo- during which we got a really good tour guide who went into history, tourism information, etc and we visibly saw how pretty it was once you got out of the main Cabo area.
We made our first stop at a pretty little shopping complex where people were all selling their goods. We were there for about 40 minutes. Matt and I bought some handmade wine glasses and a cpl magnets. Our next stop was to the town plaza area of San Jose. It was very pretty. We wandered into the church, looked around the town square and did some shopping in local shops. It really helped having Matt speak Spanish here as we were able to barter a little better. Piper and I got matching silver bracelets, she got a sundress and Matt got a souvenir. We got some ice cream from a shop and enjoyed the hot sun (mid 80’s again today).
We got back on the bus after an hour or so and headed back to the marina. P and Aidan both fell asleep on the bus ride back. We got on the tender really quickly again at 1:15 and got right onto the ship. We went up to get lunch at the buffet and then headed back to the room to do some homework. We were all really drained at this point the sun was really hot and we had a really active week. I was also really sunburned from the day before so I was pretty uncomfortable (added to the injuries from my PV excursion). We took Aidan to the clubs after a bit and Piper ordered room service for her dinner (Aidan wanted to eat in the clubs).
At 5:30 we took P down to the clubs as well because Matt and I had Palo for diner tonight. Palo was again, really fantastic. Good wine. Good food and the best dessert I may have EVER had in my life. It was really nice to have some peace and quiet for an hour or so. After dinner we wandered down to the shops for a bit to get last minute souvenirs (a wine stopper, an ornament and some beach towels for the summer). We picked the kids up at 8:00 and headed down to the nightly show. Tonight was Disney Dreams. This show has won the top spot in the cruise industry for shows the last 7 years running, and it really is very good. Very technically advanced and great music and dancing. There was small hiccup in the middle of the show (something went wrong) so they did have to stop the show for a cpl minutes.
After the show we headed back to the room for bed. P was really tired and cranky and Aidan needed sleep too. P crawled into bed with us for a minute and crashed so Matt moved her and I fell asleep soon after. It is now the next morning and our last day at sea- we dock in LA tomorrow. So sad! The weather today is already much colder as we head back to California.
