We arrived in La Paz as a parade celebrating Mexican Independence day had just ended. There was still lots of activities from the celebration and photo ops abound.

Along the Malecon there are beautiful statues and sights galore. We always stop at the artisan marketplace a few blocks from the bus stop. Avril loves the selection of gorgeous handmade jewelry at incredibly low prices.

We walked and people watched and had a grand time. We searched for beauty everywhere.

I stopped at a convenience store and purchased bottled water. Normally I purchase water the cruise ship sells at the exit to the ports. U.S dollars are widely accepted in La Paz. As a rule we always carry sun screen, wind breakers, hats and cameras in our Eddie Bauer traveler daypacks. It is prudent to carry a little cash, credit card and identification when visiting. Exhausted we boarded the bus back to the ship. We had a bit of lunch before our nap.

We decided to have dinner in the Crown Grill, the upscale steakhouse on board the Star Princess. It was a $25 charge per person extra. I would say it was worth every penny, an extreme meat experience!

You could become a cruise director, or leader after all these cruises. Have you considered leading a photography cruise? You'd get your way paid and you could teach your students about photography while on the ship, then have photo excursions on shore, and sharing/critiquing of photos when back at sea. Just a thought...
Zoomie- Thank you for you compliments. While I love cruising I probably would hate working on one.
I would go for the 'extreme meat experience."
Chilebrown-You would love it! I was going to go porterhouse but went with fillet. Avril had lobster. It was such a feeding frenzy that I failed to photograph the main course. Loads of food!
