Ensenada, Mexico

For my day in Ensenada, my 1000th day on Princess Cruises, with no fanfare or recognition I did exactly what I wanted to do. And skipped the majority of the activities on the daily schedule. 
I didn’t set the alarm, slept in, and went to breakfast when I wanted to. Even though it was cloudy and cool I watched the morning Movies Under the Stars feature Conclave, and fell asleep in a lounge chair for most of it. When I woke up the sun had come out and it was warm enough to take off my sweatshirt.

I went to the back of the ship, sat at the new handicap seating there, had a Diet Coke, and watched birds dive straight down in the water to get fish.
I went out in port last week to get my fish tacos so today I had a burger on deck for lunch.
My first one on board this month
I spent the afternoon on my balcony in my swimsuit in the sunshine. No other place I’d rather be.
I certainly didn’t want to go to the formal night dinner, but felt obligated. Here’s a tip…don’t go to things you don’t want to go to. I had a few minutes to kill before I could get my table so I went to the casino for a little while. What was I thinking??? It did not turn out well. With my tail between my legs I headed to a busy dining room I really didn’t want to go to and had a simple meal of French onion soup, sautéed shrimp, and mandarin sorbet. So simple not even worth a picture. 

Up tomorrow, a sea day as we head back to San Francisco.
