Oregon Reitters

Don't know if I'll have time to finish this before I have to get ready for work. I might do this in two parts.

Cobo St. Lucas ;
Cobo had the least amount of time in port. Only about 5 hrs usable. But this is where I had my pick of shore excursions. I went para sailing. Wow. What a great ride. We took a 15 min ride out to the other side of our anchored out ship. Kathy went with so she could take pics. Couldn't talk her into going up. Only down side was , I wish it was a longer time spent up in the air. What a view.
After that we wondered along the side walk around the harbor. Boat dock on one side and shops , restaurants , clubs , on the other. There was everything from drug stores that you could buy drugs that we can't have without a prescription. That is everything but drugs that could be abused like uppers and downers. Also liqueur stores that was tax and duty free. (about 1/3 rd the price at home. or less. Jewelry stores. tourist shoppes.
We went into a club and didn't want to stay and they put our beer and margarita in paper cups and we walked around the down sipping on our drinks. When we ran out, we went into another club and did it again. Wow. No one cared . No one said anything.
We stopped into a authentic restaurant on the way back and had a great meal.
One thing that was very visible was military in every port. There was always 2 or more armed military on the pier. and going out of Cobo. A gun boat with 2 50 cal. escorted the ship out of port. Definitely not Kansas , Toto.

OK. I'm out of time. Next up with be abit about our on ship experiences.

Time to get ready for work. Icky.
