53. At Sea Towards Manta, Ecuador

At Sea Towards Manta, Ecuador                  77F (25C)

I am still glowing with the stuff I saw in Chan Chan…

But we left after just getting a glimpse of thousands of years of history. It was a difficult, physically wearing day yesterday. Lots of stairs, great distances, lots of standing, heat, phew, I can feel it today.

It’s good to have a day of just anticipating what is to come in Manta.

I attended the destination lecture and I am looking forward to getting a hat

.

The ‘hat’ I have read about for years; that ‘hat’ I thought for years is the ultimate ‘hat’ and Manta is THE place to get it.

So I paid attention to what Humberto told me; how to spot a good hat.

I will write more about the hat when I get to Manta.

Earrings, Pendant, 2 Rings and Bracelet. It Was Great Fun

Effy was Carol’s main place to be today. She modeled rubies with a value of over 42 thousand dollars during Effy’s show time. Naturally, Carol put her tickets in the raffle but did not win. She did notice some women are back to their old trick of stuffing multiple tickets into the raffle box. Some people cannot stop, they MUST win and will cheat big time just to get the advantage. Yuk!





Entertainment was Mark Preston again, but this time with his wife.

They sang some songs in a duet.  Nice!
