Tomorrow La Paz

As I write this, it is 7:40 pm and the sun shows no signs of setting yet. We are now travelling north toward La Paz and will be crossing from mainland to Baja California for La Paz tomorrow

Celebrity Liar’s club

We four “liars” and 4 words. You cannot imagine the stories these people make up to get you to believe that their definition is the right one including visual aids! We laughed at so many funny remarks and the really almost dirty sounding words. In the end, 6 teams tied (including ours) so no one went home with a prize.

DVD presentation

Of the transiting of the Panama Canal. It was interspersed with Go Pro footage and interviews with the on board expert. Also showed some airplane views including the new canal and discussion about it. I was glad for this as we had not seen the other canal from the ship. And I learned even more about the mechanics and challenges of maintaining the canal even today.

Trivia: we didn’t win either time today but it was interesting and we learned a lot. This morning was brutal. This afternoon just challenging. In the end, as usual, we missed winning by one point.

Captain’s wine club

Francis and Ed went to this fancy schmantzy luncheon today where they tried out various wines including one at $189 a bottle which they both declared very good.

Harmony Choir

Had their final concert and as always it is amazing to see what is accomplished in such a short period of time. And I’m glad to see such participation by the passengers in showing up for this unique show.

Tonight’s show

I passed on this which has two entertainers we’ve seen before. They’re ok but I’m not interested.

Festival of the Masks

This evening at 9:15 pm. I probably wouldn’t go except that I made a mask for it and I want to see what other people’s masks look like. Not so many were wearing masks but the music was very good and there were a lot of folks working hard at the dances. The young man I’ve spoken of who is  special needs asked me to dance again and it is amazing how good he has gotten. It is heartwarming to see how all the crew and especially the dancers work with him to show him dance moves. He puts us to shame now.

We left after an hour because we have a tour in the early morning but we did get some exercise in before leaving. However, the snacks they provided weren’t low calorie. I had a deviled egg, small quiche, churro and 3 olives. I’ll have to walk a lot more tomorrow to pay for those sins.
