So far another smooth day sailing off the coast of Brazil. This evening we will be passing by Recife which is the most eastern part of Brazil. It is just after 10am and we are both preparing to exercise. Other than than we have nothing planning. We may watch a movie after lunch or just watch the ocean. It is mostly sunny and 81F now. That should be high temperature for the day.
I believe last night's dinner with the Scarboroughs was the most enjoyable we have had. He is 91 and she is 89 and they have been married for 72 years. They have no children but lots of nieces and nephews who he jokingly calls "gold diggers". They have that nice southern accent characteristic of South Carolina which made listened to their life stories even more enjoyable. They are both sharp as tacks although he has some mobility issues. He sold his business at the age of 82. Eggs!! He owned and operated a FULLY automated egg operation with 1 million laying hens supplying eggs to many large grocery chains. Can you imagine 1 million eggs a day, every day.
Tonight we are dining with Fred & Susie our next door neighbors here on the ship. I have ordered fried soft shell crabs again for main course. Show tonight is a comedic magician. What is it with cruise lines and their love of magicians?? Bobby Arvon, "Mr Happy Days", where are you????
