Today is a welcome sea day. We have a leisurely breakfast and go to Terry’s lecture on
"Brazil - The Gem of South America." She points out the obvious; the last port and at least the next port are not as nice as the ones in Argentina and Uruguay...so far that is truly an understatement. In fact, last night Ray made several jokes about our stop in Rio Grande...one to the effect that if he were given one day to live, he would spend it in Rio Grande because it would seem so much longer!
After the lecture we go to the food demonstration by the Signatures Chef, Marcel.
He does his Le Cordon Bleu style scallops and Dover sole. It smells wonderful while cooking and makes a beautiful presentation,
but he uses a dozen pots and pans to make each dish. Since we don’t have a staff to come behind us and clean up the mess, guess we will just have to cruise more!
This afternoon Carolyn goes to the tour talk for Santos and decides it isn’t worth the four hour bus tour so she turns in the tickets. She also spends some time getting the bill straightened out. Then we go to tea time and Dick plays Trivia, while Carolyn sits in the outside lounge area on Deck 6 and reads. Dick’s team, which is now a new group because everyone went home except one couple and they haven’t been back since Buenos Aires, WINS!!! We are one more award ticket toward getting...drum roll please....a Regent book mark!!
We have Prime 7 reservations tonight and order French onion soup and a fillet with mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese sauce. It is just the right amount of food, very good and we really enjoy it. Then we wait around, trying to stay awake, until 9:45PM for Ray's show,
"He’s Got the World on a String." Ray sings so well and his puppets are so cute, we have a good time and then fall into bed! So much for a slow day at sea!
