It'll soon be time to go back to normal


Gorgeous day on the sea

Ed was still sleeping when I snuck out for the interdenominational service. The Deputy cruise Director, who we found out had once been a choir master in a church in England, prepared and did most of the service. The clergyman was from Australia, ordained Episcopalian and now a vicar in the Church of Scotland in Australia. He remarks were nice but he didn’t hold the mike close enough to his mouth so hard to hear.

Sharks again

This speaker’s focus today was on why and how to preserve sharks. They are apex predators and important to the ecology of the ocean. He gave many examples over time where reefs had been renewed and increases in species of fish in an area could be credited with protecting the sharks in those areas.

Trivia: both were fair: am and pm, but we didn’t win though it was fun to go through the process of deciding on a group answer.

There was so much good food. The staff were all Mexican costumes. We closed the dining room as we were talking with ramona and Craig.

Masks

There will be a festival of masks tomorrow so I make a quick attempt at a presentable mask for the event tomorrow.

Champagne waterfall

Decorations red, white and green, colors of the Mexican flag. Oscar was outin full Mexican attire including make up. Ed and I each took a turn at photos.

And speaking of photos” we have so many and several (well frankly LOTS) from the Panama canal passage and I have been trying to share pics with some of the guests who came to our cabinfor the passage. In the process, I am now confused about which are my pics, and which are someone else’s. sigh

Phantom of the Opera

A lady who did this for 3 yrs. In LA with Michael Crawford. I stayed for two pieces. Her voice is really not one I’m crazy about.

Boxes

I have begun to collect them to make the packing a little less hectic since we have no concerns about flying.

Celebrity Liars club

Tonight which is always fun. I hope we go and if so I’ll write about that tomorrow.
