The docks were full here. The ship had to anchor in the harbor we were tendered ashore.

9 Dec 08 Mark went on a different adventure. I went on the Sierra Madre Hike. There were 5 of us plus our guide, Israel. It was quite a steep climb up, up a path that came down the other side to a river. On the way back we had to hike across the river with the water up to our thighs. One man got heat-exhaustion and had to taken out on an ATV. It was very fun.
