At Sea

It will take us until tomorrow to get to our first port of call which is Grand Cayman, so today we cruise the Caribbean Sea and the southeast end of the Gulf of Mexico.  Off to port (left side of the ship) we can see Cuba and the city of Havana, although I do not have my camera with me when we pass Havana. 

By the time I do get my camera Havana is gone from view but, we can see some of the mountains along the coast as we travel west along Cuba. 

While we are walking through the ship we pass the atrium and of course I have to take a picture of the atrium, so from the top deck of the atrium, I get this picture of the center hub of the ship.

I went to a wine tasting where they had a champagne, two red wines, two white wines, and a port.  Carmen did not go to the wine tasting since she does not drink wine, so I sat at a table where they had a single seat remaining.  Good thing I sat at this table because one of the women did not drink wine, so I drank hers.  Good for me.

The port was very good; again for me another of the ladies at the table did not drink her port and her husband did not like his, so she gave it to me.  Mmm Good!

After the wine tasting, I met with Carmen and sat on the open deck by the pool where we listened to music and watched a movie.  

The Sea here is very blue and very pretty – or at least to me.  We finished our day with dinner and then a show. 


Tomorrow Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
