Wednesday, September 26


Colin’s birthday today. It is hard being away for special days.
Last night, the meal was excellent. Filet mignon cooked just right and very tender. Must have had 8-10 oz each. Getting dressed up was fun. A lot of men had tuxedos. After we went to the ‘Salute to Broadway’ show. We were amazed at the level of talent for both singing and dancing. It was a late night, especially with a one hour time change.

Wednesday was a sea day. We had thought about going to a talk on Greece and Turkey at 10am, but didn’t wake up until 10:30! We had a really lazy day, walked around the jogging track 8 or so times. We had received an invitation to the art auction with the promises of give a ways. I made the mistake of going and somehow (it was Wendy’s influence) we ended up with two Kincaid prints. They wanted to frame them for cheap, but that is how their frames looked – cheap. It will probably cost us a fortune to frame them, but one is of a canal scene in Venice and the other has a golden retriever in it. Pretty hard to resist.
We had a nice meal again. We are starting to get to know our tablemates and are enjoying them. The show sounded good, but we went right to bed with our Athens tour leaving at 7:45. The weather today was overcast and a bit cooler. Seas were 5m and we could feel it. Some people were quite bothered by it. Fortunately by evening it was still, warm and muggy.
