Sixty-four Biola alumni and friends beat the Southern California winter and headed to Ensenada, Mexico aboard the Carnival Cruise Line's beautiful ocean liner, Paradise, for four days in January.

Alumni represented every decade since the 1940s, and guests enjoyed greeting long-time friends and making new ones. Ron Hafer, Biola's well-loved former University Chaplain (joined by wife Hilda), preached from God's Word during a packed-out service on Sunday morning, which included a stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace" in three-part harmony.

On shore in Ensenada, Biolans shopped the tourist district, rode ATVs, snorkeled, and soaked up the sun in the beautiful port town of Ensenada, Mexico. For information about upcoming alumni trips and activities, check out our website at www.biola.edu/alumni.
