Today was a sea day and as you all can guess by now I just love these days. This morning Corey Sandler gave part two of his 3 part series of the building of the Panama Canal and it was very interesting. In the afternoon someone I know from Cruise Critic which is a board where we go and write about our Crystal (or whatever cruise line you like) about gave his first lecture. His name is Jim Brochu and a broadway actor and writer. He will be doing some scenes from a play he wrote called Zero hour about Zero Mostel. Well when they say it is a small world it really is. It seems Jim grew up in Bay Ridge Brooklyn on 73rd Street and Ridge Blvd. His mother went to St. Ephrem's elementary school (where I went) and to top it off his uncle was mayor of Middletown NY (where we have our NY house) now if that isn't enough his aunt was one of the nuns that taught me in Fontbonne Hall Academy. Now that is a small world. When I told him I was named after Celeste Holmes he almost fell off the chair. he had dinner with her 2 weeks ago and when he returns to NY he is going to see her again and tell her that he met someone who was named after her. He and his partner Steve are a delight to talk with. Anyway his lecture today was on the great Kate Hepburn and he had wonderful stories about when he first met her.
Now I am attaching a picture of our lunch today just so you can see that I ate a salad (chinese chicken salad) Diane you would have loved it. Bill had a burger and sweet potato fries. Yes, Betty and Diane they are available all the time!!!!!!!!
Tonight was another cocktail party this one for the crystal society and a formal night. It was a french dinner in the main dining room. Escargot (no i didn't have it) French onion soup delicous and Veal cordon blue. Excellent followed by a grand marnier souffle with sauce angliase and more grand marnier... yummy
The show tonight was Million Dollar Musical but we have seen this one before so we opted for the casino and I came back to update this. Also doing some laundry much better late at ngiht the old people go to bed early!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow we will be in Cartagena, Columbia and we have a tour and them I am shopping for my birthday present An emerald!!!!!!
