Pacific Ocean

We chatted for quite some time, during and after breakfast, with Terry and Theresa, a couple from Louisiana. We then headed for the casino but Marlene got involved with a German couple, HP and Anita, who were playing the German version of Yahtzee. The casino was unkind again, but we have learned to limit our … Continue reading »

We dawdled in the morning. After breakfast I spent some time editing our San Francisco photos, then read a bit. We played cards and I lost badly. We also went to the casino and I lost badly. A very bad day for games. At dinner we had a nice chat with Bob and Joan, a … Continue reading »

Then we had front-row seats to a dance exhibition by … Continue reading »

Breakfast was in the buffet, as usual. We dined with Ann and Tom. Then we jumped into the hot tub with Michael and Marita from Germany. Marlene had a chance to practice her German. I could understand about half of what was being said. We had lunch with Marvin, a widower from Phoenix. Then I … Continue reading »
