Puerto
Chacabuco
This
was our first port day with not very nice weather. It sprinkled occasionally and was windy with
only a high in the upper 50s. Although
it was a port day it was a very restful day for me. I slept late and left for the tender just
before 11:00 am. We were met at the pier
by a free shuttle to the market set up in geodesic domes. There were a few booths and I bought some
souvenirs as well as a few gifts. I
walked around a little afterwards but, being Sunday, most things were
closed. I was back on the ship by
shortly after noon.
I
had a leisurely lunch in the Lido and then picked up a hot chocolate at the Java
Café and sat and knit for a while.
Afternoon
trivia at 4:00 was tough and we ended up with 13 out of 21. The winning team had 17.
1) Vexillography is the art and practice of
designing what?
2) Which actor has never won an Academy
Award for acting – Robin Williams, Clint Eastwood, Ernest Borgnine, or Michael Caine?
3) Which of the following was never an
Olympic sport – tug-of-war, unicycle hockey, solo synchronized swimming, or hot
air ballooning?
4) On which island was Freddie Mercury
born?
5) Leather is the traditional gift for
which wedding anniversary – 1st, 3rd, 5th, or
7th?
Bonus
– What five countries have the most UNESCO World Heritage sites?
Just
prior to departing the captain announced that the weather had deteriorated and
we would likely have some rough seas starting around midnight. He also said that the high tomorrow would
only be around 50F and there was a good chance of rain.
Before
evening trivia I finished shortening the sleeves on the jacket that my travel
agency gave me. They are unisex and made
for people with long, long arms.
We
won evening trivia with 17 out of 19!
1) Which performer who helped to organize
Woodstock did not perform at it?
2) What ageless toy was originally made from
the knuckle bone of a dog?
3) What is the hardest substance in the
human body?
4) Who was the “Fifth Beatle”?
5) In Romeo and Juliet, what was Juliet’s
last name? For a bonus point, what was
Romeo’s?
After
trivia, Pat, Patty, Sherita, and I had another hilarious discussion which
cannot be repeated! We then went to see
Pat’s new cabin. She was having noise
and water issues with her previous one so she is now a neighbor of mine.
All of
us were present for dinner. I had French
onion soup, Caesar salad, brisket, and arroz con leche. After leaving the dining room I sat and
talked with Pat and her husband, Tom. I
skipped the show which was a Tango show.
