AT SEA GOING TO BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA

We didn’t do lots of stuff today. We didn’t go to aerobics, bridge lecture, Spanish lesson, enrichment lecture, enrichment lecture 2, ping pong, dance lesson, emerald lecture, Peter Max lecture, poker tournament, cooking demonstration, bean baggo, popcorn movie The Ex, cardio class, tango class, arts and craps, three hole golf tournament, needle point, yoga, tea, tea time trivia, and bingo and a bunch of other stuff I don’t feel like typing.

Oh yeah, we didn’t go to Sabbath service too. That was a lot of work avoiding all that stuff. I got so tired from that I even forgot about lunch. But not to worry. Bobbi saved me. She went over to the coffee corner and brought me bagels and stuff to put on them. Other wise I would have had to get up and dial room service.

I did get one interesting email from Mike in Florida. I’ll share it with you.

Mike writes:
where did the penguin with the red jacket come from?

I replied:
Those are extremely rare. They have never been seen around the area before and probably never will again. They are SE Florida penguins. There is a female in the first set of pictures and the one walking away is a very handsome example of the male variety. They are now considered to be full time residents of Florida but they used to migrate up and back to the Chicago area. At that time, In some circles, the were known as Snow Birds.

Let me know if you got any pictures today because I didn’t send any.
