The wine tasters!Today was a day of MUCH needed rest! I am almost embarrassed to admit that I slept until 11:30! I know Kenneth, our stateroom attendant, was just dying to get in our room to clean. So I quickly dressed and went with Andy to eat lunch. Around mid-afternoon we went to a wine tasting with Jackie and Charles. I always find myself just staring at the shelves completely overwhelmed in the grocery store, thus reverting to my old standby wine-Beringer White Zinfandel (aka “grown up grape juice”). I decided this was a good opportunity to learn a little more about wines and try a few without having to buy a whole bottle. We had a great time at this event…got a little tipsy…learned about different reds, whites, and champagnes….found some I definitely like…enjoyed the company of two ladies from New York…oh and…did I mention we got a little tipsy? LOL!
After the wine tasting, we sat on deck watching some of the Greek Isles as we cruised by. The breeze was just right and the afternoon was just beautiful! Andy struck up a conversation with one of the crew members who happened to be one of the few Americans working on this ship AND he was from Jacksonville, Florida! This was so cool since Andy is originally from Jacksonville. Adam knew about the small town, Baldwin, just outside of Jacksonville where Andy lived until he was 10 years old. Adam told us lots of good information about the ship, as he is the facilities manager and is in charge of all maintenance of the ship. He wrote down our stateroom number, and we are wondering why he did that???
This evening was formal night, so we dressed and headed for dinner. Of course we had to get pictures, so Jackie and I took turns taking pictures of the other couple. Charles was just not smiling to Jackie’s satisfaction, so Jackie said “Charles, why can’t you smile like Andy?” And Charles’ comeback was one to remember…”That’s because he is married to Cindy, honey, and I am married to you.”LOL LOL LOL! This night’s dinner was the best we had yet on the ship! Lobster bisque, Caesar salad, filet of beef, rosemary mashed potatoes, asparagus, and grand marnier soufflé for desert. PLUS a great bottle of cabernet sauvignon that we had learned about at the wine tasting.
After dinner we went to the evening show with Renee, Phillip, Jackie, Charles, Kim, Stennis, Penny, Michael, Pam and Bo, which was a music and dancing show “Dancing Through the Movies”. It was fun to reminisce with the music, and the Royal Caribbean dancers were pretty good!
Off to bed now, gotta get up early tomorrow as we meet for our tour at 8:00 AM in Ephesus, Turkey!!! Good Night and love to all! Cindy :o)
