Rome

I stayed at the Spa all day, and had the place to myself. Erika and Elaine went into Rome “on their own”. The cruise ship excursions are expensive but they allow you to cut through long lines to see the sights. They covered a lot of ground but it only served to wet Erika’s interest in going back for a better look. They teamed up with a nice couple from Pennsylvania, and only got ripped off by one cabbie.

The entertainment on the ship has been first class. The magician tonight was Vegas caliber, and the Second City Touring Company was a hoot. We have seen a variety of great dancers and musicians to suit any taste. From string quartets to marimba phone players, one was better than the next.
