First I want to acknowledge that Don’s brother has died. Don had advised us earlier of his problems and though his suffering is no more, the passing of anyone is sad. Very sorry for your loss Don. Also, Don I am happy for you and very pleased you booked the 2012 WC. I think you will find CSI group to be terrific people, not only the staff but the people who are their customers.

We had such a good time in Lima. Barbie, Joan and the two Aussies did a walkabout and took in the Indian Market and had a great time at a little restaurant where we had a cervesa. The waitress also brought a free pisco sour so the Aussies could try one. They loved the taste. Therefore, they kept tasting the next day at the Marriott hotel while they were utilizing their free internet connection. Barbie kept up but I headed back to the ship for a little nap.

The nora virus is on board but it seems to be stopped and fortunately I was not one of its victims. I do have a cough and the usual crud which I believe is mostly due to air conditioning. I have never seen the red alert cautions before this threat. They even sterilize the pencil we use for Trivia. Salt and pepper shakers disappeared and all menus in the bars are missing.

Jennie is correct and my table mates are Lorry and Sue. Jennie, are you reading Bill and Maryanne’s blog?
