BLOGGING MY WAY BACK TO YOU, BABE



May 1, 2016


A terribly slow and relaxing day here on board the Pacific Princess.  We got up, showered, and went to breakfast.  I came back to the stateroom to rehearse for my 10:15 talk.  Bonnie went to crafts.  Then we went to the Sunday Brunch and decided we liked none of the fare and went to the Buffet where we had delicious black bean soup that was left-over from last night.  Then a 90 minute nap before we attended a talk on cruising on small ships, like the Pacific Princess (it was a sales talk, but some exciting destinations -- hopefully we can get some).  Then supper and a fantastic show by a new troupe of singers and dancers who just joined in Cartagena.  And now back in the room blogging.

Ok.  I'm done.  Hereeeeeeee's Bonnie!

Hey!  Still really creaky from yesterday. Well, after breakfast I went up to deck 10 to walk my mile. It was quite breezy and overcast but I enjoyed the air. Not quite as hot and humid as yesterday. After walking my mile, I went up to deck 11 to survey the sea. Very quiet after yesterday (the weather was fine yesterday, the sea was crowded with lots of ships around the canal area -- David).  I then proceeded to the room to retrieve my bag for the day. I went out on deck 5, found a lounge chair and sat down to crochet. It was breezy but I enjoyed it. I crocheted till 9:50 then went to the Atrium to wait for the start of crafts. We were making a fluffy butterfly barrette. It involve needle and thread, not one of my favorite tools. But after about an hour I had finished my task. Not a perfect job but okay. I missed all of David's talk. I had planned to do the craft and then scoot to the show. But it took me longer than expected.

We went to the room to put our stuff up before going to the Brunch. I was not impressed. It was a Mexican theme but the only Mexican they had was a guacamole dip. Yuck! So we went upstairs. I had pizza also (it's the first pizza since the Samara Special that I did not like -- it neither smelled nor tasted good; one bite and I was done -- David). After consuming lunch we played cards and he beat me! Uggh!! (Bro wins! Bro wins!) We went back to the room for a short nap, then to the talk. Afterwards I got dressed for supper and we sat in the coffee bar lounge out side of the dining room and played cards. Uggh, he beat me again. (Bro wins again! Bro wins again!) Oh, well, tomorrow is another day.

After supper went to the show. Very Good. One of the dancers, who is a red head we have seen on another ship. She is very pretty and I always liked her the best when we last saw her (Me, too! Pretty smile. Long red hair. Great legs!).

Well, we are in Puerto Quepos, Costa Rica tomorrow. Our understanding is the only thing here is a large rainforest. We are meeting one of our dinner couples for breakfast and if the weather is good, it is supposed to be raining, we are going to share a cab to the rain forest and tour a couple of hours. The tours for this stop are very expensive and most include activities like zip lining. So we are going on our own. We  understand there is not much else at this stop. David wants to find some Mountain Dew but we don't have much hope of being able to do that.

Well, we turned the clocks back another hour tonight. So while it is 10:30 pm there it is only 8:30 pm here. We are supposed to play with the clocks at least twice more. Who knows what time it will be tomorrow night?

Well, Mac good job on the walking keep it up. The more you do the better you will feel. And just think no school tomorrow! Love you. Love everybody. Miss you all.

And so we bid you tooodle-ooo
