Manzanillo


Our last port of call was Manzanillo. We docked in the commercial port as they did not have any dock large enough in the main harbor. While there we watched a dredge boat work the channel into the area where we were docked. Across from us the navy was doing maneuvers and several divers were doing scuba exercises. Once off the ship we took a bus into town. We were told that the big blue fish was the downtown. Across the street from the blue fish was city hall. From there we walked to the market. We saw fresh meat being transported by wheelbarrow to the local meat shop. The rest of the fresh meat was kept in the rear of a pickup without any visible refridgeration or ice. We toured around the shops and I stood in one intersection & took a picture up each road that took off from there. We reboarded the ship and at 5:30 pm we were being escorted out of the harbor with tugs as the channel was very narrow. Also a navy boat followed and watched us depart. We are now on our way back to San Diego and will dock at 8 am two days later. Once we dock we are reunited with our luggage and we call Avis. They send a van over and return us to the office of Avis. We get our car to return back to where our motorhomes are in Wellton, AZ. the trip is over, but many memories have been made and we would like to do this again soon.
