Vacation Scenery

Here's a few random pictures of the scenery from our cruise.

We left from the Los Angeles port of long beach.  It's an impressive farm of containers and docks.

Clouds and a sun-lit sky as we were departing port.

In Puerto Vallarta they have a newly refinished sea-wall area called the Malecon.  There are many sculptures on the walk, and this one, created by Rafel Zamarripa is named "Caballeo del Mar" or "The Seahorse" and is recognized as the symbolic statue of the city.

The Our Lady of Guadalupe cathedral is also an icon of the city of Puerto Vallarta. 

 

A deocrative window on the side of the chapel.

Another view of the tower from the base.

The flowers on the plain building structure, contrasted with the blue sky caught my eye.

This was our view from the restaurant where we had lunch.

Rock formations on the way into Cabo san Lucas

There were so many small boat tenders providing shuttle service between the main beach in the bay and the ocean side beaches.


The marina at Cabo.  The sailboat in the center was impressively big.

The water was so clear, with the shadow on the bottom, it gives the illusion that the boat is floating.

Vacation homes on the cliffs.

My peaceful afternoon reading on the deck.

I didn't have a tripod with me, but the moon was quite pretty in the haze, with the reflection over the water.  This was the evening that we sailed out of port for the night while in Cabo.

Sunset the next day.

And a quiet moment on the walking deck with no-one around.
