At Sea

The morning started with a Cruise Critic Meet and Greet. There were at least 25 members present. Spent about an hour with Knitters and Stitchers afterwards before heading to the Lido for lunch.

For afternoon trivia we only had four players and had 13 out of 21 correct with three teams tied at 17.

1) What is the third letter of the Greek alphabet?

2) What was the profession of Wyatt Earp’s sidekick?

3) What are the colors of the flag of Egypt?

4) How long in feet is a Venice gondolier’s oar?

5) Where is the largest pyramid in the world?

After trivia I changed so I could swim after arts and crafts. We decorated a tote bag.

There was a $25 South American wine tasting this afternoon by the Lido Pool. No sweet wines so I did not participate.

I sat by the pool for a little over an hour and swam for about 15 minutes.

Sherita and I went to the Pinnacle Grill for dinner and it was delicious.

Evening trivia was in the showroom because there was a cocktail party for those who boarded in Buenos Aires in the Crow’s Nest. We had five players and got 17 out of 18. A number of teams tied with 18.

1) In which country did voodoo originate?

2) In The Great Gatsby, what color is the light at the end of Daisy’s dock?

3) What is the only continent without a desert?

4) In which country is the easternmost point of the continent of South America?

5) What is the only astrological sign that is not represented by a living thing?

Pat had had a really good time at the wine tasting so Sherita and I went to sit with her while she had her dinner in the dining room.

A saxophonist was the show but I did not go.
