Our last port of call. It was a beautiful day, perfect blue sky along with the blue waters of the Caribbean and temperature around 80. Ponce is located on the south side of the island - San Juan is on the North and is a much larger city and port. We left the ship about 9:30 and our timing couldn’t have been more perfect as the first of two marching bands was just marching up to perform. These were all school children from Ponce and a nearby town/school. The band from Ponce was quite large and included baton twirlers, flag twirlers and cheerleaders. The other band was quite small, but had a couple baton twirlers with it. In both bands there were some very small children, one in particular (in the middle of the front row of the picture) absolutely stole the show; he was perfect - a real showman and never missed a beat.
Since this was a Sunday we had been warned that there wouldn’t be much open in town so we decided to just walk along the boardwalk and watch the people feed the fish and birds. This particular pelican was really funny… he was awfully picky when he was getting free food handouts… right after he took this fish, he spit it out and didn’t want anything to do with it again.
We have only two more days of the cruise left… you can feel the mood changing on the ship; it’s much more subdued.
