I think that this is Wednesday October 6th.Yesterday was a long but fun day. We took a tour that lasted 5 hours. At leased it was on an air conditioned coach. The weather has been clear but hot. In the upper 80's and lower 90's. On the tour we went to Hacienda Dona Engracia, a tequila factory. I didn't see any working parts of the factory, but we did get to taste tequila. The first sample was a little rough, the second sample was better, the third sample was even better, the forsh swample wes betttr, the fish sasple wosh good and by the lasths sumpl who cared. After the sampling we had tacos at the factory. From there we visited the Cathedral of our Lady of Guadalupe. It is one of only two cathedrals in Mexico. We did go by stores that we see in the U.S. all of the time: Walmart, Pizza Hut, Office Depot, Starbucks and so on.
Last night's 7:15 PM show was a riot. A comedian named Tim Kaminski in addition to his opening portion, selected people from the audience to take part in a version of the Wizard of OZ. Talk about funny, our sides were hurting from laughing so much. It was so good that we went back for the later show at 9:15 PM. The comedian was asking people their occupation and they would reply RETIRED. He said the whole ship is retired.
