So, we've been on solid ground for about a week now. And I'm still dizzy.
We decided a cruise was a great way to rest, relax and have a lot of fun, so, we booked a Carnival cruise this year to explore the "Mexican Riviera". It turns out we were right, we had a great time, we slept, ate, slept, watched shows, had a drink, slept, ate, went to gym, slept some more :)
Needless to say, I gained like 5 lbs! I'll post a review of the cruise a little later, but for now I wanted to share one of the many little adventures we experienced on vacation.
Well, as we docked in Cabo San Lucas and made our way down the port/marina, we noticed these little funny-looking "wildlife huts". As we neared them and peered into the cages, we saw the most adorable sight ever. A baby tiger and a baby lion! When we realized that we could take a photo with them for a $35 donation, we wasted no time in paying the donation and getting our photo taken with them. Yes, yes, I know....it's actually pretty cruel that they have these wild animals there, in 110-degree heat, working long, long shifts just for profit....but....we just couldnt resist!
Now, reflecting back on the size of both the tiger's and lion's claws, we sure did take a risk. Although cute and cuddly, these animals are wild and could accidentally scratch either one of us and cause some serious damage! But oh well, at least we have some cool photos and video :)
Here's a pic a friend took with our camera....(I'll scan and post our "official" photo later)
