Day 8

Today is our second day at sea and again a beautiful day with tempetures in the 80’s and not as windy as yesterday.

We stayed out on the deck until 12:30pm when it was time to meet everyone on the back of the ship for lunch.

We sat with everyone for a couple of hours just talking about our lives and different experiences we have had.

It is so fun enjoying a cruise with couples we have met through the casino – all with different backgrounds and locations which are so very, very different but all with a mutual liking and respect for each other.

Jeff Wurst is a major corporate banqurepcy lawyer with an office in Manhattan and a home close to the UN overlooking the river.  Vera was ones a school teacher.

Tim Freeman is a former Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force who now has a major job with a very important defense contractor.  They live in Virginia and during the week, Tim flies his plane to Huntsville, Alabama for work and back on the weekend.  They also flew their own plane down to Ft Lauderdale to board the ship.

Neither couple has ever lived in the Midwest so it is an interesting group.

We played a session in the casino during the afternoon and Barb and Ed both lost. 

The show tonight was a magician and he was very good at slight of hand.  I have a couple videos of his performance which I will put on the blob at the very end of our trip.

Tonight, we were guest of the casino at a specialty restaurant called “The Poarch” It is located outside on the top deck and it is mainly a seafood restaurant.   While it is outside, there is glass to keep the wind out.  We had a wonderful meal there.

After dinner we all went to the casino where Barb and Ed both won.

Tomorrow we dock in Cartagena, Columbia and have fun day planned.

It is hot here with the sun almost directly overhead as we are getting close to the equator.
