Bon Jour from Martinique! Tuesday 10-25-16

I woke up before Debbie this morning just before 6 AM.  We had ordered room service coffee for 7 AM so I went out on the balcony to take some photos of us coming into Martinique.  Lots of storm clouds and it is raining off and on.  This is a French island and we have been warned by the crew that the beaches are nude so that we are not shocked if we go there.  The weather does not really get better all day but Debbie and I do get off and go into town.  Debbie was right…there isn’t a lot to see or do here and most everyone else must have thought so too since there were more people coming back to the ship than getting off.  We did walk around a bit but came back to the ship by lunch.  The ocean water here is very dirty…a tribute to its French citizens.  We did take some photos and watched some fish jumping out of the water near the pier.  We did not know what kind of fish they were.  

We ate lunch on the ship and Debbie said she wanted a cobbler for desert.  She surveyed the desert area and didn’t see anything that she wanted and about then we saw a lady walk by with blueberry cobbler so we were on a quest to find it!  We eventually found it Kay and it was yummy…tasted like the pie we had in Maine.

Now it is mid afternoon and we are in the cabin and I am writing the blog and Debbie is working on photos before we get ready for dinner.  The show tonight is a magic…not my favorite thing but we will probably go.

Captain Kate loves Confucius so each day has been giving us sayings.  One day it was “Woman who drive like bat out of hell, bound to get there” and today’s was “Woman who put husband in dog house find him later in cat house”.  Tomorrow is Dominica. 

 

PS...the pictures are not uploading so we will try again later but at least you have the blog!

 

Debbie's friend by the pool sleeps a lot.

Title "Man #3 Getting Ready to Fall"
Debbie and I are going to now name the art we see on the ship if it is this easy.
