Celebrating and relaxing with a cruise

Dan and Eyvonne aboard a Carnival Cruise ship. To celebrate brother Ozzie's 21st birthday, and Dan's birthday, both in late July, they along with Anne Marie and Os took a cruise to Catalina and to Ensenada, Mexico.

On board the ship it was "tons of food, hanging out by the pool, etc.," Dan said. "Then when you stop you get off and do touristy things." The Catalina stop was a lot of fun, he said. "We took a 'semi-submersible' boat tour."

At the Mexican stop "it was like being in a big open air market, with people aggressively trying to get you to buy the most useless junk," but they took a bus tour out of town that included a stop at "La Bufadora" - a marine geyser.


Dan has a few more weeks to relax before resuming his studies at San Jose State University.
