I left you yesterday… breathlessly watching those 3 small sail boats with the behemoth grain ship bearing down on them into the lock next to us…(you didn’t notice but I just ran down to Vintages for a glass of champagne). OK back to the 3 small sail boats!!! When we got to the next lock we waited for them to pull in to the lock next to us… and they never came. We were all snug in our lock and our water started going down, and … they never came but here came the giant grain ship. Did he eat them? Smooosh. Gone. So sorry little sail boats. I tried to take photos but we were on our way out of our lock before he got fully in… At the last lock we were cheered by the observation deck!!! And we cheered back. It was so exciting. Almost as if they KNEW us. I felt a little sad not to share it with our friends. So! Cheers to you my friends. And I highly recommend a Panama Canal cruise to you. I was exhausted after a day (actually 2 days) outside in the Panama heat. I went to the show, but I realized half way into the show I had sleepily changed into my slippers when we went to the room after supper to get our books (we get books after dinner and then sit in the first row reading while waiting for show time). Surely enough the performer chose me and three others to dance with him. Lordy, there I am dancing in my slippers! Today I dressed up a little in case I am asked to dance again. Like the little sail boats… I will probably not get the chance to redeem myself. Right to bed after the show, but I woke up groggy and I walked right by Chuck in the Windjammer. "Sleep walking, are you?" he asked as I walked by. "Huh???" We ate breakfast and I headed for the pool. I put on sun screen but am still getting sunburned. We ate lunch and I went to the art auction. I bid $40 for a painting but it went for $60. I did not bid higher. It’s like gambling. $40 was my limit. Nap. Champagne and here I am. God bless you!!!
