The Long Summary of My Day:
Up early to go for a run on the top deck, then a trip to the gym, to breakfast, which always turns into sitting there for a while and spend time talking. Today we sat with George, who is extremely funny, he had us laughing hysterically. To say the least, he is very comical with many stories about his adventures, as well as some crazy things he has done. He is from Pittsburgh and he make funny voices that he uses to mimic others. Since we were sitting for so long, we decided to go to see Chef Bernie make a crab and avocado fitter and salad with a coriander vinaigrette. Not only to I get to learn how to make the food but the best thing about watching them make the food is we get to eat it when we are done! Since George was with us and we made him go to the food demonstration, we went with him to the Acupuncture seminar. It was very informative and I would like to try Acupuncture sometime! The nice thing about going from one thing to another is when walking through the cafe's, there is always something set out to eat, such as little sandwiches or desserts and everything is always so tempting. Today seemed to be filled with eating because we somehow ended up at the Lido for lunch, then meet Brad and Jeff, also known as Tan Man, who I discussed blogging with, which that turned sitting around for a while. Oh surprise, 2:00pm became 3:00pm and it was time to go to Tea. This time it was at the La Fontaine and the presentation of food was crazy! There were more mini desserts and little sandwiches than I could even imagine! Plus they had carved watermelons and this amazing statue made out of chocolate! It was the most intricate thing I have ever seen. Way to much food today and it is only a little after 4!
We stopped by the Arts and Crafts station a little late, but they were making a bracelet and therefore we decided not to do that! We took some time to relax by the pool and soon it was time to get ready for the South American Dinner! I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but after doing it, I am so glad we did! It was so much fun! We started dinner by having a south american drink. We were seated with Brad, Gloria, Erma and Bernard. The room was decorated with South American colors and the wait staff was dressed in attire to match the theme! We were served a six course meal and each meal had paired a drink with it! Everything was so good! Chips, salsa, guacamole, potato soup, steak, more stuff, some meat that was cooked table side and this really good dessert!!
Everyone at dinner seemed to have so much fun! Everyone got along well. Bernard and my mom had the longest conversation about white asparagus! I never knew you had to peel white asparagus! At the end of the night, we were given pan flutes and everyone tried very hard to play them, although most people were unsuccessful!
After dinner we went to see the movie The Help! I read the book and the movie was really good!
So Far My Impression of Sea Days:
Time flys
Food, food and more food - you seem to be eating all the time!
You spend a lot of time talking with people
Relaxing
It is impossible to do everything on the ship
