Today I’m not sick at all. I had no excuse not to go to the
gym so I got up at 8am and went to the gym. There were only a few people there
and lots of people doing yoga. I spent 30 minutes in the gym then went down and
got showered and dressed and went to breakfast. I was upset at myself for not
weighing myself, I hope I haven’t been gaining a pound a day. All of the
lectures today were about going through the Panama Canal. At 10 I went to the
beginning bridge lessons and Mike and David showed up to. I was very glad to
see them and they said their wives were in the lecture about going through the
canal, which I watched on TV later in the day. That lesson was interesting and
then I slipped over to the salsa lesson. It was nice that there were 5 women
and 3 men. That was so different from where I usually dance at where there are
always more men than women. I danced with one of the ladies I had met at
Dancing With the Stars and she was wondering which of the ladies was my wife. I
told her I was divorced and she was surprised. I felt like saying if I was
married why would I dance with someone other than my wife! I guess I should
have asked her which of the men there was her husband. It was fun and I learned
2 moves I didn’t know before and then I went back to my stateroom and watched
some TV while I put my previous 2 day blogs on the website. In the afternoon
was Dancing With the Stars again and they were doing the Samba. I have never
lived the Samba so I really did just go to watch. Many women and only 4 men, so
I tried for a while. I gave up and sat and watched. During the competition they
only found one man to try to dance with the stars so everyone was so happy they
had him win. I was happy for him because there is no way I would have gone on
the stage with the samba. Most the rest of the day I was watching the
television shows about how they made the canal and what we can expect to see as
we go through it. After a while I got bored with it and tried to find something
else to do. In the evening I got dressed nicely and my mom and I ate dinner. We
then went to the variety show and then we went down and I helped her get on the
internet for a while. After that I went to the casino and watched the men win
lots of money playing blackjack. I was hoping to play, but I remember the last
time I sat in on a table that was winning and it then started to lose. I just watched.
I then went up to the nightclub to listen to the music and no one else was up
there so I didn’t stay. I went to the 10:30 pm movie and it was Rush, which was
very good. As I walked out I heard some ladies laughing and I walked into the
showroom and watched the kitchen staff dancing on the stage. It was fun to
watch them! Today was a nice day and it is wonderful not being sick any more.
As I write this around midnight we have already started going into the bay in
Panama right before the canal. We are supposed to be going through the first
locks at 8am so that should be interesting and lots of opportunities for
pictures. We should be coming out of the last locks around 3:30. This will be
the first time I have been around the Atlantic for 30 years. I am excited!!
