Good morning dear readers! What a day yesterday was! Full to the edges with fun! We started the day at 620am sunrise with coffee and sweets from room service as we had a morning tour scheduled and I wanted to take in the channel into Cartegena from sunrise to docking. It’s a pretty entry. The port itself is full of container ships; any ordinary port, but the channel entry is nice. We started our tour with a bus tour of the city (nothing to write home about) … but then we got into horse and buggy and went into old walled city past about 6 convents turned into hotels (where did the nuns go?) and at least 3 big churches, Would be nice to spend more time in old walled city! Back to the ship to have a quick lunch, swim for an hour, hot tub as the water was a little chilly in the pool… I needed to warm up as we sometimes do after an hour in the lake. Nap. Drinks in the Safari club and watch the pull away. Out the same channel as we cruised in the morning! Sunset. Dinner. Then a highlight! We went out on deck where the pool man gave us towels for Chuck and a blanket and a pillow for me… and watched an amazing Disney movie… Perfect for you moms and grandmoms for the young and the not so young!!! Please do watch The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Beautiful dancing by Ballerina Misty Copeland; acting by Keira Knightly, Helen Mirran and Morgan Freeman among others. The young female star; I can’t remember her name, was very good too! And her protector soldier was wonderful too! So we sat under the stars and were enchanted!!! Before the movie, I got soft ice cream and a tiramissue (how do you spell that?) but Chuck wasn’t hungry yet so I gave the tiramissue away to a friend on the next chair. After the movie, Chuck wanted a snack…. So he got a sandwich while I admired a chocolate mousse…. "Oh no!" I said to the young man who offered it to me, but he pressed it and a spoon into my hand. The lady waiting for the elevator must have wondered what I had as we waited for the elevator with me going "oh my goodness! This is wonderful…. mmmmm mmmmm mm!". Brush my teeth and head for bed to dream of sugar plums. That’s it. Today is Colon, Panama. We have a ferry tour of the locks and tomorrow we actually enter the Panama Canal!!!!! God bless you this First Friday of March (birthday greetings go out to Dave and Milton… any others? Happy March! and angels be with you if you are ailing or worried. No worries my friends for God loves us! Thank God! Day 4 all gone.
