Dull and boring day blog-wise. Sea days are mostly about relaxation, eating, drinking, reading, napping, etc. Nice for us. Boring to write about. And I forgot to take pictures of sitting areas, so tomorrow you will see three (unless I forget again).
Weather: perfect once again. Elaine spent a lot of time reading out on the balcony.
We did have one exciting (but sad) event. Around lunchtime the Captain came on the loudspeakers to announce we were coming to a stop off Mexico to allow a medical launch from shore to come along aside to evacuate a passenger. We don’t much more than that, but we watched the evacuation. Apparently it was a wheelchair-bound woman who had fallen and done some severe damage to herself. We hope she gets the care she needs in Mexico and gets home again soon.
Reading. I am on my third book. Here’s what I have read so far, Click on each image to read more about the book.
I haven’t talked breakfast much. Elaine often skips it. I don’t. Today we had breakfast together. I had my usual. (Yes, I’ll have to diet when we get home!) Elaine looks grumpy in the picture and will kill me for posting it. She wasn’t grumpy. Blame the photographer.
Cocktails as usual in the Living Room Bar. We haven’t made any great mates as we did on other cruises, but we often sit with Debbie (a single from Tucson) and with two retired (and now married) FBI agents. They have some great stories. The bartender is Sharon from the Philippines. She’s the best bartender we’ve had on any cruise. (That’s not Sharon in the background of the picture.)
We had dinner in the Restaurant. Excellent as always. My main was swordfish. Elaine had grilled octopus.
Oh my gosh. If I ate that breakfast, my next eat would be a snack with my bedtime cocktail. It looks very delicious, lots of bacon.
The books look interesting. I’d love to hear some stories from your FBI friends.
Elaine, such a sour face. Joe, did you take some of her bacon? I’m with Sue, interesting to hear some stories from the FBI couple. Sorry to hear about injured passenger. Blessed to be able to get off ship and get care.
