Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Our ship stopped in Puntarenas, Costa Rica on it's way to Seattle. We booked a bus tour and one of the stops was in a little village way  off in the hills. It was a Saturday and we made a point to stop there because on Saturday, a few childen are chosen to dance for the public. They must have good grades and the reward is to show off their wonderful dances and colorful costumes. The youngest was probably 6 and the oldest probably 12 or 13. As you can see, they are beautiful children !!!

Jeremiah O'Brien

Whenever I go to San Francisco, I love to visit the Jeremiah O'Brien. Our ship made a stop there on our way up the coast and of course we did the tour. What caught my eye as we walked along the water were the locks on the fence.

Bridge

This is the bridge on the Norwegian Jewel. Talk about a comfortable place to work !!

Victoria Water Taxi

Victoria was our last stop on the way home from our Panama Canal cruise. We walked from the cruise ship dock to the Empress Hotel, but because our feet were tired, we each paid $5:00 and took the water taxi back as close to the ship as we could. Victoria is such a nice place to visit, and getting nicer all the time.
