Second day at sea

  cinnamon buns                                               silly sushi

Sept 29, 2010  At Sea

Today we had coffee delivered at 7am, then dressed and off to breakfast by the pool. It is very foggy, but much calmer. Joan went off to a class on beautiful edible bouquets – apparently very informative. Ruth went to the digital workshop on working with photos – more new info. Next Joan went back to the ocean bar to read and Ruth went to a cooking class on Silly sushi – looks like sushi, but made with rice krispie squares patted thin, then gummy worms instead of veggies, roll it over and cut then make another one. The leftovers are just rolled into a little roll, gummy fish on top and wrapped with licorice, gummy worm – whatever. Melted choc instead of soya sauce. Whew, that’s a lot of work, must be lunch time. We decided on burgers by the pool. After lunch it’s back to culinary arts to see if there are any new tricks for cinnamon rolls, and also to make a Phillipino delicacy – empanaya – very yummy. Joan is reading again. Ruth is off to a talk on San Diego as we will be there tomorrow. Found out exactly where to get the bus to the zoo. Joan popped in for a minute then back to reading, and I went to another computer class on Windows 7. That’s a long day of learning and reading so it must be happy hour-tom collins and green apple martini!!! It’s too early for dinner so back to the shops and they have watches with other jewellery for ladies and with wallets, pens etc for men. Not name brand but ok for evening wear. We each bought one as they were just $20. It has been foggy since we left Victoria and just as the sun went down we could see blue sky. Hope that means it will be nice tomorrow. The show tonight was Jade Milion – who had a great voice but her music was too loud and music to young for the crowd. We retreated to the Ocean Bar to listen to the oldies but goodies. Off to bed as we have to clear customs in am and our time is 6:30!!
