At Sea

A group of about ten stitchers at this morning’s get-together.  I stayed until about 11:30 when Sherita and I went to the Lido for lunch. 

We won afternoon trivia with 19 out of 21.

1) If you suffer from anosmia, what sense do you lack?

2) What is doggerel -  a tree, a poem, a weapon, a musical instrument, or a star?

3) In 1999 Macau was transferred to China from what country?

4) What left-handed tennis player won the Grand Slam of Tennis in 1962 and again in 1969?

5) How many miles would you bike in a full iron man triathalon?

Pat and I went for ice cream before arts and crafts.  The project was an accordion-style scrapbook.

At 4:30 we had another block party.  Red and white wine as well as sparkling wine was passed out as we got to know our neighbors.  I wish the other ships did something like this.

I ate with Sherita, Roy, and Jim at 5:30.  I had French onion soup, prime rib (which was very good), and a strawberry sundae for dessert.

We only had 16.5 out of 21 in evening trivia.  The winning team had 17.5.

1) Which has a larger land mass – Antarctica or South America?

2) What is the correct way to address the Pope?

3) What diet drink was hyped by Coca-cola about having only one calorie in 1963?

4) What was the name of Captain James Cook’s ship when he was exploring Australia?

5) Name the capital of Iceland and for an extra point spell it correctly.

Sherita and I went to see the show which was a singer, Yaniv Zarif.

Four port days in a row coming up.
