7-9&10-2004 sea days

 Time to chill out and recuperate from the busy port days we just had.

 I think Angie was ready to rest.

 And eat---here our Maitre D is welcoming us---I think.

 2 of our table mates.  We had assigned dining and had some really interesting table mates. 

 Had great servers, too.

 They use to have a talent show on board and the judges were really funny.  Our table mate, Nicole, was exceptional and won the talent show.

 The ship dancers performed, too.  You know you're on a Carnival cruise when they wear outfits like this.

The next night she brought a bottle of champagne to dinner and shared it with all of us.

 Late in the cruise Angie and I discovered the piano bar.  This guy was exceptional, too.  We spent many late hours listening to him.
