Feb 16th – Sea Day – Thursday

This is going to bore you to tears but we had pretty much the same day today as we had yesterday!!

Trivia bridesmaids….once again!  In spite of the fact that I nearly hurt myself coming up with the first and last names of 1.) The author of Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs and  2.) The gymnast who helped her team win first place in the Olympics despite a severely injured ankle!!!  Those I came up with but we didn’t know that the Canadian’s invented the baseball glove!  Duh!

A little bumpy today and they called the seas moderate.  Whitecaps all around but not too bothersome….or maybe we’re just used to it!!

I made some money in the casino tonight!  Not much and I’m still behind but not nearly as much! 

Watched a terrific group this evening give a performance in the Piazza of Irish Music!  Very enjoyable and we were also treated to a couple of passengers who took over the floor in front of the band to display their “Dancing with the Stars” moves.  I was nearly crying with laughter at these two.  They were easily in their mid sixties.  She sort of looked like Cruella de Ville in a bad wig that had an unearthly “shine” to it.  She had on a spaghetti strapped gauze dress with a black leotard and a bright green sports bra with the straps prominently displayed.  He looked like a seedy Paul Giammatti who was 30 pounds overweight and very little hair.  At one point he helped her get down so she could do the splits!!!  Then at the end of the “dance” he actually LIFTED her in the air!!  They’re lucky the ship didn’t lurch then because they would have both gone down hard!!

What a couple of nutty show-offs!!  Sure was amusing to those of us watching from the deck above!

Tomorrow is our stop in Ensenada and I’m not sure whether we’ll get off and wander around or not.  Not much to see.

We’re still having lots of laughs and meeting some very nice people!

XOXOXOXO
