Started the day with a bridge lesson. Then went to a flower arranging class. The man who does all the flower arrangements on the ship showed us how to make 4 or 5 different arrangements. He is very creative! And I did take pictures so I can maybe do something back in Sarasota! Later in the afternoon went to the book club because we begin a new book. This one is a mystery that takes place in India (our next major stop.) It is called The Case of the Missing Servant by Tarquin Hall.
Before dinner, Doug and I went to the photo gallery to see the pictures Joe Craig had taken of us. He was the photographer who does mainly faces of people. He had a show of all the pictures he had taken (the ones he chose) and we liked ours. So, we ended up ordering some. Very different kinds of pictures.
Dinner was at the Pinnacle Grill for their African theme night. It was fun and the meal was very good. Everything was decorated in the African theme – including what everyone wore! It was a 5 course dinner including a dried beef and green fig salad; an African tribal wedding soup (like the Italian one!); lamb bobotie (ground spiced lamb with baked egg topping) with yellow rice; springbok and ostrich with African green beans; and dessert was malvapudding (baked brandy tart with vanilla bean custard.) The dessert was the weakest part of the meal. But it was fun and we met some new people we enjoyed.
We went to the late show and saw the Unexpected Boys. We missed their first performance days earlier and heard how good they were. And they were – a very lively foursome singing our age group music. It was a fun way to end the day at sea.
