Catching Up

I've hardly had any time to post between tours, eating, cooking classes, eating, bingo, eating, blackjack, eating, shows, and, did I mention eating!! So, here's a recap of the last few days.

Sunday, September 27
We had a day at sea and a chance to get our bearings around the ship. We have a lovely cabin with a balcony on the port side of the ship. We attended the cooking demonstration on how to make Chicken Cacciatori which the chef made a little more Greek by adding sliced black and green olives.
Met two of our dinner partners (we have a table for six, but the other couple didn't come to dinner tonight). Jan and Lee are from Clearwater, Florida and very pleasant to talk with. Lee would get along well with Ted since he is a civil engineer and has served on their local city commission.
Attended the show after dinner - a little singing and dancing, but mostly some games with the audience. One of the games was with two audience men dressed up as golfers. They had to hit a oversized, plastic ball with a blow-up golf club into the audience. One of them called himself Dirty Harry as he eyed his cute, scantily-clad caddy. What a hoot! After the show I went to the casino and had great success at the blackjack table.
