Catching Up - part 2

Monday, September 28
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Since we have been to Dubrovnik on a prior trip, we opted to take advantage of the special at the ship's spa - 25 minute message, 25 minute facial, and a pedicure. Mom also decided to get a haircut, so we pretty much spent the entire morning there.
In the afternoon we attended another cooking demonstration - this one on Crepes and Flambe. They made Crepes Suzette with a sample for everyone - yum! Toured the on-board shops and played bingo for a chance to win a cruise. Guess what - I didn't win! (no big surprise).
Another wonderful dinner and a chance to meet the other couple at our table. Ann and Salvatore are both retired school teachers and live in Baltimore. We had actually met them at breakfast, but didn't know they were assigned to our table for dinner. Sal's parents were Italian, so he and mom have a lot in common and much to talk about.
Attended the show after dinner with a couple who combine acrobatic dancing and magic. Didn't fair so well at the blackjack tables after the show.
