... some more great live music. There was a free concert being held in Guadalajara as part of an annual arts festival that takes place in the city and regularly attracts famous authors, filmmakers and musicians (this year it includes Carlos Fuentes, Los Lobos and LA Confidential director Curtis Hanson).

The band playing tonight was a collective from Los Angeles called "Ozomatli". I had never heard of them before, and they easily outperformed my expectations. Ozomatli incorporate ...

... If only I had arrived earlier. I answer several more, sip my diet coke and then the excitement is over. Time to head down to the cabin for my meet up with Mikie.

He goes to walk the Promenade and I beg off deciding to read my book instead. About fourty minutes later there is an announcement over the P.A..

“Bright Star, Bright Star, medical bay deck four, Bright Star, Bright Star, medical bay deck four”

Finally, the reward for living through all of the storm. A beautiful morning - and finally feeling better.

Got off the Ship briefly before we left (total of 20 minutes) to take a few pictures.

Back onboard by 1pm.

At 4pm Classic Disco T-dance (delayed due to our extended stay in PV).

... 4 or 5 friends from the first hostel I stayed at in Guadalajara. It was an overcast day, but I still managed to get pretty burnt while surfing. A few of us rented boards (figuring that lessons from a surf instructor are for the unadventurous) and proceeded to get up and fall off for an hour or more, scraping fingers and feet on the crusty rocks just below the surface (the waves were breaking very close to the beach so the water ...

... the braiding and tasting were done it was off to the Municipal Market. I think we all had some goal for shopping while we were there. I was looking for a guayabera and found one. Amy said I looked like a Mexican waiter but I think I look pretty suave-ay! Lydia found a beaded butterfly (in the Huichol indian style). We did a pretty good job of working the guy down on the price. He started out at $28 and then made a special deal for the leetle ...

... to your table. Such is the attention to service at Dreams. Following our scrumptious wake-up meal, we headed again to the tennis courts. By then, the tennis clinic had ended, so we could show off our novice-level performance in private. The answer to a sweaty workout suggested a dip in the freezing Infinity Pool or ocean immediately afterwards. So we ...

... awfully good at watching our spending as we were only over by $2.50 when we went through the checkout. Score! Some of the locals we have met suggested a small hotel near downtown that would accommodate our budget. We wanted to be closer to the action to walk around and Walmart is quite far away. We took the advice and checked into La Mission. This hotel is without any bells and whistles, but at $40/night was a great bargain and we both were itching for ...

... was once a "Ford" model (yes, he had good bone structure) and now lives here full time. I won't give the full story, but he is opening a shop and made me promise to come back and see him. We discussed the perils of driving through Mexico, he has been coming down since '66! Of course, he noted how real estate is going up like a rocket and I should buy now (did I buy in Costa Rica in the early nineties? No, too risky. Did I buy the condo in Palm Springs ...
