We transited the Panama Canal today and it took almost 8 hours we were stopped for awhile and no one could figure out why we were stopped and they were letting the Celebrity Infinity go ahead of us but it turns out one of the passengers on our ship had to be taken off in a stretcher not sure what happened. Anyway the traffic was light so it didn't take the whole 8 hours. It is really an engineering marvel to watch them lower these ships up to 80 feet then let the water in and raise you up and over. For those of you who watched the webcam I hope you enjoyed it.
Tonight we had another lousy meal... Bill had dover sole meuniere and I had honey baked ham We both started with probably the best pasta dish I have ever had. It was rigatoni pasta with a chuncky tomatoe sauce with friend eggplant, some hot peppers and a dab of ricotta cheese. marvelous. I skipped dessert tonight okay all of you who fainted can now get back up. I was just too full. Tomorrow is another sea day and we have quite a few things going.
In the am I am having my special birthday breakfast since I had an early morning tour yesterday this is the birthday that just keeps going. Yesterday I got a lovely birthday card from the captain. Today a bottle of champagne arrived. Keep this coming I am really enjoying this,
Friends from cruise critic are having a fitness challange tomorrow at 5:30 am and then the big french fry challange. One of our cruise critic members is a fitness and health nut never eats anything fried or fattening no desserrs except for fruit. So they challanged him to eat feench fries this should be fun. Then tomorrow night they had a drawing for people to enter to "Dance with the stars" I wasn't picked damn it. That would be hysterical me and my cane!!!!!
I am posting a few pictures of the canal. Enjoy the rest of your night I am going to read and relax!!!! I am even too tired this evening to go to the show or casino ok back up again....... I lost this afternoon then went before dinner and Bill and I won it all back plus.... so enough casino today. I can't believe this cruise is half over already. It is certainly flying by.
Good night all!
