Today we did the “Stars of the Southern Hemisphere” wine tasting and tasted wines from New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina. It was quite a fun presentation and I liked the wines too. The tasting included a food pairing. Jennifer got to enjoy my piece of lamb since I don’t care for the flavor of lamb- with or without wine.
Trivia:
- When I get our current location on my phone and see that we are very close to land, I”m always surprised that I can’t see the land from the ship.
- My google searches now come up with results in Portuguese since Brazil is a Portuguese speaking country
- Many folks are leaving the ship at Rio de Janeiro, our next stop. 348 are staying on ship (out of about 670) and we will pick up 150 or so new passengers at Rio de Janeiro
- During the celebration of folks on our ship with the most cruising days, spots 2 & 3 were about 1800 days; the most was 2135 days but she is a ‘resident’ of the ship and has been on for about 3 years!
- There are about 20 different nationalities in the crew
