20140907 | Ensenada Cruise [Part I]

A couple of us went on a cruise from Long Beach, CA to Ensenada, BC (Mexico) this past week! Here are the first half of the pictures, with the day's activities, dinner, and a group picture!
We boarded the Carnival Imagination in the mid afternoon on Sunday.

Group Picture, Day 1.  Notice how clean the room was.




We spent our second day on (Santa) Catalina Island - We took a golf cart tour of the island, and browsed the shops a little bit before heading back to the ship.  Here's a rare shot of me not driving.




A view of Avalon Harbor from up in the hills




















This looks like a scene from Disnelyand, or Disneyworld (becuase it's gloomy)




Nap after we got back on the boat - too lazy to bring the bunks down

Here's another one, through the non marked side


Next few are from after we dressed up for dinner!

Lobster

All the fries you could want!!
This sums up our first two nights pretty well! Stay tuned for Part II!
