Disco and Chocolate

A busy evening capped a somewhat quiet Sunday. After spending most of yesterday reading, we went to dinner as usual. Following dinner we went to the evening show, which featured two brothers who were illusionists. They were very good, and quite entertaining. At 10, what seemed like the entire ship congregated in the promenade, and they had a 70s street fair. The singers and dancers dressed up in 70s costumes and sang disco tunes, and many passengers joined in. It was very funny to see balding men singing along with the words to Donna Summers and the Bee Gees. People were having a lot of fun. I have to admit that Bill and I participated in YMCA (who wouldn’t?).

At 11 o’clock, we went up to the 11th Deck where they were featuring their chocolate buffet. We ate chocolate treats and talked with a couple from Iowa who were the poster children for not judging a book by its cover. Though looking as though they were fresh out of the corn fields, this is actually their 20th cruise or so, and they have traveled extensively throughout Europe. It was fun to talk with them.

Today is a beautiful day once again, though the sea seems a bit more rocky than it did yesterday. At lunch, three of the chefs cooked paella out on the pool deck, and then served it up with some sangria. Yum and yum!
