Viviana Guzman


 Viviana Guzman is a grammy nominated flautist who plays many different flutes from around the world.  We much enjoyed her second show onboard the Regent Mariner of the Seas.  I purchased her Songs for Whales at her previous performance a few days ago.  This is just the fourth evening performance we have attended.  We prefer to retire early and rise early in the morning so we have not attended most of the evening shows.    

We're in the South Pacific Ocean.  The volume of the Pacific Ocean covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about one-third of its total surface area, making it larger than all the Earth's land area combined.

Etta James sang;

At last, my love has come alongMy lonely days are overAnd life is like a song
Ooh yeah, yeahAt last, the skies above are blueMy heart was wrapped up in cloverThe night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak toA dream that I can call my ownI found a thrill to rest my cheek toA thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeahYou smileYou smileOh and then the spell was castAnd here we are in heavenFor you are mineAt last

Devil's Island

 This was a French penal colony for 100 years until 1953, where convicts went to die of disease or harsh conditions as 75% died within their first year.  We have each seen prison cells (from the outside of the cell!) so we will not tender to this 35 acre island. My most recent post worried our family that we are not enjoying our journey.  Quite the contrary, we are walking an hour every morning and working out at the fitness center 3 times per week.  We have danced, played scrabble, dined with other couples and we have each finished a book.  Our travel consultant gave us good suggestions for future excursions.  I believe it is important to not only record the positive experiences but to also write about the unfavorable accounts, as well.  I tried to add a bit of humor to make them more pleasant to read and recollect.   “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The...

Food and Wine

Image
 One more day before we reach our first port in Roseau, Dominica.  These days at sea have allowed us to organize our stateroom, read and relax.  The meal offerings are rated the best in the sea cruise industry.  After gorging the first day, we have settled into our usual routine of light breakfast and lunch followed by a moderate dinner with the weekends allowing more caloric intake.  The food is a culinary delight and good wine flows freely on our all inclusive cruise along with good beverages for those who choose to remain sober.  This reminds me of our granddaughter, Caroline.  Shortly before our departure, we were viewing photographs on my phone when she looked at a photo of me and said, "No offense Grandpa, but you look plump".  I replied, "I exercise regularly and try my best not to get fat but there is so much good food and wine".  Old Soul Caroline ended the exchange with "A Life Well Lived".  I write this story with the utmost r...
