This is our second time doing scenic cruising of the islands.
(there are 3 clustered) Maybe one day we will be on a cruise where they do go
ashore to tour the island. (yes, some do that) It’s a beautiful island, despite
its gruesome history. Last year they brought a few people from the island on
board to sell a few things, but not this time. Last year they showed the movie
Papillon with Steve McQueen & Dustin Hoffman for several days before seeing
the island which helped us picture the penal colony there. This time they aired
a newer version with Rami Malak, which had some differences, but pretty much the
same idea. They then showed the older one with McQueen & Hoffman in the
“theater” after the scenic cruising. I do think we were able to get a bit
closer to the island this time since we are on a smaller ship than last year.
While walking the track this morning, a butterfly flew by
which I chose to believe was Papillon reincarnated. LOL
There was no regular Bingo this morning due to Devil’s
Island.
There was a French Buffet upstairs today in honor of French
Guiana, but the dining room was having chimichangas so that won us over.
I got quite a few photo albums uploaded to the Google
Photos site this afternoon. I wish after spending lots of time organizing the
photos only to have Google divide them wasn’t happening, but it is. It looks
like it is separating them by Greg’s photos and mine, I always sort them by
time and it combines our photos, but now Google over-rides that during the
upload. I just don’t have the time or internet minutes to resort them online.
I’m hoping I can get a few more up tomorrow.
The entertainment tonight was another performance by Anne
Martinez. I liked her first show, but I didn’t care for this one. I think the 2nd
show was a surprise for her since she started the show with something like “I’m
back for a 2nd show, aren’t you surprised? I know I was.”
After the show was a Nightro Bingo session. 3 chances to
win $250 on a $10 ticket. A regular bingo player won so that was nice.
We have one more sea day until Barbados. Also, we only have
1 week left of this journey. So sad…….
