On to Barbados 5/21/08

Our next stop was Barbados.... time to swim with the sea turtles. Once off the big ship, we headed out to a beach that had many turtles. We boarded a boat that took us off shore...we looked over...and there they were...just like a meal. We went swimming with them and they circled aound us playing games. They looked as if they were smiling. We had also heard of an old pirate ship party boat. We were under the impression it took off early in the afternoon...so we rushed back to the harbor to find out but there was no such pirate tour. The locals said it only goes out at night, so we just hung on the beach the rest of the day...not a bad day, eh? This was the furthest south we traveled. It was pretty close to South America. Things were expensive on this island, so we just took in the scenery. Back on the big ship was the first "dress up" night. We headed out with suit's and tuxes on. Everyone looked great. Pat in a suit...watch out! Since Shell and I needed to pack light, I had forgotten a coat and tie. While we were in New York, we went to a yard sale and picked up a great looking Italian silk suit for $3.00. I still have it. We had a lot of fun at dinner with our server. She had all of us dancing around between courses. After dinner we were off to the casino......
