The Queen Mary, now a hotel and shopping spot located in Long Beach Ca. We start here in Long beach and first stop is Puerto Vallarta (whale watching), Mazatlán (cooking experience), and lastly Cabo San Lucas

Sea Day Brunch (Day 2)

Most sea days we don’t get up till 9:30 or 10 and we go down for brunch which is served in the main dining room. I took this with my phone leaning on a nearby table.

Embarking on some whale gazing.
Embarking on some whale gazing.

This is not what we expected…a rubber speedboat. We have been on whale watching tours before and it was on a double decker boat with real seats and no wearing of the lifejackets.

We saw these boats whipping around before we got to the dock and vowed, we would never get on one of them. I had to ditch the hat or lose it. I shared this photo, and I got this back, “you guys are on the 5-yard line of life what are you doing on a speedboat!!” …. Whale Watching, LOL

Barrel roll?

Here they come!

And there they are.

I shot this from the ship after we got back from whale watching, this is exactly where we boarded. You can bet there was some serious discussion as to whether we forfeit the money and not get on or take a shot, oh well YOLO.

As the sun sets and the last few people return from their excursions, we bid farewell to Puerto Vallarta.

We tried out the cooking experience in Mazatlán, it was somewhat interesting, but I don’t think we will be going down that road again. We did make empanadas and pressed some flour tortillas
