It’s warming up slowly

Today was our third day on the ship and our second full day at sea.  The seas were noticeably calmer this morning as I and many others no longer needed to hold on to railings as the ship pitched and rolled.  In the dining room, faces were perkier and a little less green.

Linda, Stan, Bruce and I headed to the gym at 9 am.  It was packed full of sweaty middle to elderly aged individuals trying to turn back the hands of time.  We were still able to get in a fairly good workout although we took it relatively easy so we would be able to go to the gym tomorrow.

Sitting outside by the pool afterward, I could tell it was about 10 degrees warmer.  People were in short sleeved shirts and some were going in the outside jacuzzis.  I am looking forward to balmier weather when I can bring out my shorts and tank tops.

I went to my first art auction today.  Linda and Stan left early and Bruce would have, but he was humoring me.  I even bid on a painting and bought one.  Of course it was one of the real bargains.

Linda, Bruce and I had coffee with some friends in the late afternoon and explored other parts of the ship.  We found Dizzy’s Lounge named after Dizzy Gillespie, the famous jazz musician.

For dinner, I had escargot for an appetizer, crab cakes and a New York strip steak.  It was delicious.  Our waiters were fabulous.

After dinner we went to a late show with singing and dancing.  I loved it but I think Stan fell asleep.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
