We decided to take it easy today and didn’t order room service until 10:00 am.\u00a0 We spent some time admiring the ocean and catching up on the weather in Mexico.\u00a0 We’re unsure if we want to go zip-lining in the rain so we might check out Papas & Beers instead.<\/p>\n

We departed our room at noon and went to the Divinci Dining Room for lunch.\u00a0 \u00a0The pasta special was excellent, and we finished it with pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The stuffed bell pepper was outstanding!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary again did the soup and salad.\u00a0 I may try to get weighed tomorrow and change my eating habits.\u00a0 If someone calls me fat,\u00a0 I ignore them.\u00a0 I am bigger than that!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Coy?<\/p><\/div>\n

We spent an hour on the 18th floor reading our books in peace.\u00a0 On our way back to the cabin, we canceled the zip line adventure due to the 90% chance of thunderstorms and 40 mph winds forecasted for Sunday.<\/p>\n

We had a couples massage scheduled for 3:00 pm.<\/p>\n

???<\/p>\n

I asked Mary for a massage last night after dancing for hours.\u00a0 She was very cooperative and had an excellent suggestions.<\/p>\n

\"\"

She only called twice.<\/p><\/div>\n

At 4:00 pm, we attended a ballroom dance class on the ship.\u00a0 It was a cha-cha class.\u00a0 Many people were in attendance, but nothing we didn’t already dance to, so we assisted others.<\/p>\n

At 6:00 pm, we returned to the room for a “Ballroom Music” dance session.\u00a0 We asked the staff to switch the music from their usual ballroom tunes to Mary Capps’ playlist two days ago.\u00a0 When we arrived at the dance, we were delighted that the music was indeed Mary Capps Play List (MCPL).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We danced to almost every song and even convinced others to join in.\u00a0 Dr. Mary informed the staff of how delightful the music was now.\u00a0 Mary asked me to dance with an older Japanese lady who was alone; I did, and she was very thankful.<\/p>\n

We had dinner at an Italian restaurant on the ship’s top floor at 7:20 pm.\u00a0 Although the food was excellent, the service was slow, likely due to the individual preparation.<\/p>\n

We waited for 90 minutes, and both of us started getting anxious.\u00a0 I was stiff, and it wasn’t easy to get going again.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The meal was very nice and the presentations amazing.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Dinner was excellent; this was an appetizer of thinly sliced veal in a cream sauce.<\/p><\/div>\n

Why don\u2019t Italians have BBQs?\u00a0 The spaghetti falls through the grill.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Good groceries.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Almost too pretty to eat!<\/p><\/div>\n

In her infinite wisdom, Mary devices a way to get me up and moving after sitting too long!\u00a0 We will train Scout when we get home.\u00a0 \u00a0We talked to Irene, and she and Scout are doing just fine.<\/p>\n

\"\"

After all that dancing, I had a hard time getting up!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were done; it was 9:00 pm.\u00a0 We looked at each other, checked our watches, and decided to watch a movie in the cabin like old people.\u00a0 No more dancing this evening.<\/p>\n

We got another notice from the photos people to download some images.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Good night all!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today was laid back, but tomorrow we will get busy again!\u00a0 We checked the weather, and we are heading into the path of a small hurricane, but as of 11:45 pm (the time right now), the seas are still relatively smooth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When we decided to go to bed, we had a visitor.\u00a0 Stanley was already in the sack!<\/p>\n
