Today was nice and relaxing.  No ports today, so we just hung out and did "whatever" on the ship all day.  I went to a scrapbooking class which turned out to be nothing, listened to 2 lectures on our ports for the next 3 days and learned how to and what to buy when we are in Turkey in a couple of days. 

We ate lunch at "Johnny Rockets" which was a personal favorite for each of us - ate WAY too much - I can feel my arteries clogging as I write this...

 

 

 

Reese had fun on the Sports Deck - he won in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament and came close to winning in a Table Tennis tournament - he went into 7 overtimes with a Chinese kid his own age - it was super exciting!

 

Tonight is formal night, and wouldn't you know it??  I forgot my formal shoes!!  I am NOT into shoes, and it took forever for me to find THE pair of shoes for the trip, but I did it!  ...and I forgot them at home.  So... I'll be wearing my red Crocs flip-flops, if you can believe it!!  The ONLY reason this has a tiny chance of working is because my outfit has lots of bright colors, including red.  UGH!!  (Nope - you don't get to see a picture!!)

Well, we survived dinner.  I wore my Crocs, and we sat at a table for 10 (unlike our normal table for 2 with our favorite wait staff) with 6 people too snooty to talk to us, and an ex-cop who wouldn't STOP talking to us.  Service was slow, the food was good, and we survived.  I'm turning in early, but Reese will take in the night life, per his usual, and we'll be up early tomorrow to visit Athens!!  :o)
