At sea

Today we had a wonderful slow start in Buenos Aires – sleeping late, nice breakfast and great shopping on a pedestrian only shopping street. Diana bought a beautiful Argentinean leather purse. Doris talked her way into a refund on a non-refundable sim card that didn’t work for international calls. We had an easy transport to the pier and check-in on the Ms Veendam. Our stateroom is comfortable and we are already unpacked. We explored part of the ship, had a fabulous prime rib dinner with octogenarian companions. We were the youngest of the bunch, but 4 more table mates should join us tomorrow, so we’ll see if that record holds.  After waving goodbye to BA from the deck of the ship at dusk, we continued our launch at a performance in the theater. Our initial impression is that the performers will be great and the silly games they played with guests imply that though grey haired, they will be a fun bunch. Tomorrow is an early start so we are heading to bed early (midnight) tonight.
