Third Consecutive Day At Sea!

The weather has been pretty unpredictable.   At times, there will not be a cloud in the sky and it will be 80 degrees , but if you look towards the stern, you can see its quickly going to change as we approach dark clouds up ahead.  Then, as quickly as it clouded up, we run through a small squall, and then are back to sunny blue skies again.  

Several days ago there was a show in the theatre titled “Comedy with Strings”.   Intrigued by the title, we attended.  Unfortunately, it was a gentleman with a ukulele playing, singing, and telling a few bad jokes between songs.     Then, last night, we were duped into attending another show with another intriguing title.  As the show began, yep…..out walks the ukulele guy!   We endured it for about 10 minutes, but when he began playing Sweet Home Alabama… that was more than I could bear.  Our music loving friends from the Shoals (you know who you are) wouldn’t have stayed that long.  There IS something about our Muscle Shoals music!

We have found it rather surprising that there are actually quite a few young couples on the ship.  For this length cruise, we expected a much older crowd.  However, we have talked to several couples in their early thirties that have told us they quit their jobs to travel the world.   This is certainly a change in philosophy from which I was brought up!
