Coffee Connection while cabin is cleaned and then I went up to Observation Lounge for needlepoint. I then went to the lecture which was on Boi Bumba. This is a celebration held in Parintins in June. It combines theater, drums, music, dancing, and circus. One of the two teams will put on a short display of some of the celebration for the passengers this afternoon. We were here before and saw it then, so we decided to give our tickets to someone who has never seen it.
For lunch they had a Brazilian fsh fry. In Brazil there is this huge fish called Pirarucu and we had two of them for the grill. I did not try it as it looks like a heavy fish.
After lunch I sat on the balcony and read. Finished the book and then we returned to Coffee Connection for a snack. I went to needlepoint even though it was not scheduled. Five of us showed up. I stayed for tea but no trivia today as they had it in the morning.
Bob and I then returned to the pool for another hour of swimming. It is fairly crowded in the afternoon. Some want to swim laps, some just stand around and chat and I pretty much stay in one place and try not to get in anyones way.
Dressed for dinner. We had cocktails in Mariners Lounge and then sat with Roman and Barbara for dinner. They are from Philadelphia. Still not clear on what Roman did but he is retired now. Barbara was a teacher and for 32 years has been a guide at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Roman also guides there. At any rate, dinner was good. Roman brought along some red peppers for us to try with our food. He claims it helps relieve pain. Bob forgot and rubbed his eye so had to go to the men's room and put water in it. That helped.
Back to the cabin to try and watch some basketball but was between games. We lost one hour tonight so we read a bit and then lights out.
