Saturday, April 6, 2019.  At Sea

It sure was hard rolling out of bed this morning, partially because of the time change and partially because we had stayed up watching the end of Hearts Beating Loud.  We barely made it to the morning trivia with our regular team.  No win for us, but we picked up a few new facts, and realized we need to review our basic geometry because there have been a few geometry terms that have popped up in these trivia quizzes.  Today, it was which geometry term applies to two planar or spatial objects that are the same size and shape?  

Today, we received the final totals for the progressive trivia, and found that we ended up second place- bridesmaids by two points.  We actually ended up with a sack of prizes and a bottle of champagne even for placing second place, so we were pretty happy.  

We had a light lunch at the International Cafe before the afternoon Movie Posters trivia, which we lost by one point.  Our undoing was a poster for the movie “Pan’s Labyrinth”, which from a distance looks just like the poster for Big Fish.

We took a break from the regular afternoon trivia for naps and a quick work out.  Tonight was our last formal evening, which was rewarded with some very good broiled New England lobster.  

After dinner, we met with our trivia team for a Motown Music Trivia.  We cracked open the champagne bottle that we had won with the progressive trivia to share with the team.  Despite the champagne, we won, tying with one other team.  We had missed two artists, and were surprised that didn’t cost us the game, but apparently, we weren’t the only ones who struggled with two obscure songs.  One was I Second That Emotion- a Marvin Gaye classic, but it was sung by the Supremes.  The other was Operator, originally sung by Mary Wells, but this version was sung by Brenda Hollloway.  The prize was another bottle of champagne, which we’ll have to consume tomorrow with our team again.

The couple who did the Beatles tribute returned to the Princess Theater for another show which was billed as a tribute to the 50’s and 60’s, but it was 80% Beatles, with some Elvis thrown in.  Both Janet and I dozed through some of the songs due to the effects of the champagne.  

We finished up the evening with the movie Colette, about a woman who’s husband takes credit for a wildly popular novel, not unlike the Big Eyes movie where the husband takes credit for his wife’s popular paintings.

Tomorrow, we pull up to Ensenada, Mexico, our last port of call before we disembark in Los Angeles.  We started packing, putting away our formal clothes and other items we won’t be needing for the next 2 days.
