We like the weather as we head north because it has been cooler, but sunny and dry. It is now in the mid 70’s outside with partly cloudy skies. We are falling into our old habits as we head into our home timezone, sleeping in later and later. We barely made it to the buffet before it closed. Our trivia team is now getting a bit of a reputation as we racked up another win today. The weirdest question was what male animal explodes after mating and dies? Answer- Honeybee.
We attended Dr. Bondar’s last lecture on New World Monkeys. We were hoping to see her incorporate one of our pictures into her slide show, but alas, not on this cruise. She did say that twins are the rule among New World Monkeys. She said they are fraternal twins, but share a single placenta. Afterwards, we asked her how that works, but she didn’t know the specifics of how two separately fertilized eggs can end up sharing a single placenta since the placenta originates from the fetus and invades the lining of the uterus, at least in humans.
We ended up watching all the other lectures on Mexico’s political and economic turmoils, and the port talk on San Diego on the TV. It’s a good thing we can watch those on our bed because it’s hard to stay awake all the way throught those.
We were able to get into the Chef’s Table with a same day reservation for dinner. The theme was the Venice Carnival. While we are now quite used to the Amuse Bouche textures and wine pairings, the food was tastey, and the wine can’t help but put you into a good mood.
We wound up the evening watching “Life of the Party” and “The Spy Who Dumped Me”, both of which were pretty forgettable movies. We turn our clock back an hour to Pacific Time tonight, and have yet another day at sea tomorrow.
