DAY 25 DAY 14 SERENITY

ON THE ROAD AGAIN - LOS ANGELES
We enjoyed another evening on-board  Serenity.   We had a pre-dinner drink at the Palm Court while we listened to the Crystal QuartetPerform   We could see through the windows Cabo San Lucas.  Shortly after we pulled up anchor and watched our departure  as we made our way into the open seas.  

Bartender Mel worked his magic at the  bar and the Crystal Quartet Band performed live music.

We met another couple  for  a  short time for  a drink.  We  have  a mutual friend  who had  suggested we get together.  Unfortunately,  the mutual friend is dealing with a significant  health issue.  We had a photo taken of  the four of us and this will be sent to someone  else for them to take over to show our mutual friend.

We returned to Waterside for dinner.   Lately every other evening we have dined at Waterside.  On Saturday, Head Waiter  Augusto who we have known for many years  and adore  saw Keith  and offered to make  us one of his special entrees which is Lobster with Penne Pasta and nice red sauce.   Keith said this sounds  like  a plan knowing Anne Marie would love this entree and Augusto also prepared Tuna Tar Tare  for Keith (aka Augusto style and size).  Yes, size  is always  on the larger side.  LOL.  Anne  Marie went  with another appetizer and  we both had dinner salads.   We ended dinner with  some cheese for  Kieth and  a small scoop of  ice cream for Anne Marie.  

​It  was a lovely meal.   
Some people arrived to dinner  later in the  evening  as they  were watching the second of the  two National Football League Championship  Playoff  Games.   Congratulations to  Kansas City and San Francisco.   The Super Bowl will also  be  shown live on Serenity.

Comedian/Ventriloquist Mark Merchant performed  two shows.  Mark appears on  both Serenity and Symphony several times  each year.  He  is funny and brings out a persona  as  a Ventriloquist of the puppet or is that dummy.  Whatever.  LOL.  We have  seen his performances many times over the  years.

We  enjoyed another nice sleep as we make our way along the Coastline to Southern California and Los Angeles.  

Today  is  a sea day and  we began the day as we usually  do with exercise for Keith, breakfast followed by a walk for Anne Marie and  a run for Keith.

We  also changed things up  a  bit  today.

Keith went to Rap with the Rabbi this morning.  Rap is  a session where  the Rabbi  prepares certain topics and cover  them and there is also lots of questions and discussion.   Often other topics are brought up by  guests.

There was lots on the program.  The diversity of speakers and entertainment on this leg has been amazing.

There were three lectures   Destination lecturer Ian MacLachlan spoke about the Panama Canal and putting it into context with Geography and Politics.  Next up was Jim Brochu who spoke about the life and career of Lucille Ball.   In  the afternoon, Scott Bornstein spoke about Mastering Your Memory Power.

A friend  who  was kind enough to knit socks for Anne Marie offered to knit a pair for Keith and we met up with her  so she could get Keith's measurements.  This is so very nice and we  appreciate her friendship and kindness.

At noon we had lunch at Marketplace and in the afternoon while Anne Marie walked Keith played Paddle Tennis.  Anne Marie also went to the movie Downton Abbey while Keith met up  with dear  friend Bob.

This evening we are going to the Supper Club with dear friends Bob and Glo.

More tomorrow.

Cheers,

Anne Marie & Keith
