THE

February

BARC took a week-long

cruise to the beautiful

Mexican Riviera last month.

The group left on a rainy,

windy day from Long Beach to get some

beautiful sunshine along Mexico’s beautiful

coastline. After a day at sea, the group ar-

rived at Cabos San Lucas where they took

a boat tour of Lands End and marveled at

the beauty of the Arch of Cabo San Lucas.

After an authentic Mexican lunch at the

beach, the group ended their day with

some shopping. The next day was a visit

to the beautiful city of Mazatlán where

the group got to see a live performance

and see the amazing cliff divers. The last

day in Mexico was a nice, relaxing day on

the beaches of Puerto Vallarta with a little

shopping action before heading back to

the ship. The last two days on the ship

were filled with fun games, exciting shows,

elegant attire and of course, lots and lots

of food from the buffet. “I had fun,” said

Traveler James LaGrande. “I liked eating

the food at the buffet and the chocolate

cake. I also liked the dancers at the

Mexican show. I want to go back again!”

Not In My Town!

NEW FACES

at BARC

BARC Client Gabriel Vasquez was asked

to be a part of KGET’s campaign against

bullying, “Not in my Town.” Gabriel

filmed the commercial last month and it is

currently airing on Channel 17. “I was

scared because it was my first time on

camera,” said Gabriel, “but I got used to

it and I’m proud that I got to be in the

commercial.” If you would like to find
