January / February 2009 Road Trip Continued

Well, time to catch up again. Yesterday was a day in port. But, we spent most of the day watching the inauguration on CNN. The ship set up a room with a projection TV tuned to CNN and we sat in there and watched. Of course we did take a break to eat.

We were in Costa Maya, Mexico. Costa Maya is a small city that has developed a nice concret pier for cruise ships. At the shore end of the pier they have restaurants and lots of shops to sell to the passengers of the cruise ships. It actually was a very nice area. We browsed for a while, stopped and had a drink and then went back to the ship. We just weren't into any of the extended excursions the cruise ship offered.

Today we were in Santo Tomas de Castilla, Guatemala. This time we docked at a regular port where frieghters dock. Lots of containers, cranes, tractors moving containers, etc. etc. Again, we didn't do any of the exotic excursions. Just went to an area provided for cruise ship passengers and relaxed for a while and drank Guatemalan beer.

Tonight and last night we ate in an asian restaurant on the ship. I love asian, sushi and sashimi. Norwegian Cruise Line has what they call "Free Style Cruising" with various restaurants on the ship. Also last night and tonight we attended shows in the ships theater. Last night was a troop of comedians from the Second City Comedy group from Chicago. Tonights show was a magician.

Tomorrow we will be in Belize City. Plan to spend more time ashore exploring.
