57. Punta Arenas, Costa Rica

Punta Arenas, Costa Rica  

           

Phew hot 96 F (36C)    

Westerdam On the Left, Island Princess On the Right

We arrived in Punta Arenas around 8.30 AM and lots of people had booked excursions. Carol and I, after most people went ashore, just walked to see the vendors on or near the pier. 

Beach Art

The Westerdam, a Holland America Line ship, about the same size as our ship, was docked right next to us. The pier was busy and it was hot. 

It was so hot that we found a restaurant with A/C, Wi-Fi and just hung out until we went back to the ship for a late lunch. 

Bless those people that live here and also the tourists that have all this energy in the heat.

When the temps go up and the humidity index hits 60+% I start to melt and my energy level just drains away. 

Some People Will Buy Anything

Carol feels the same way.

We both sat in our cabin and watched a movie called ‘Waking Ned Devine’, a rerun watch for me, but still better than slogging around in this inferno outside.

For the evening show we had a special performance and it was called a British Pub Night. It was hilarious. Audience participation made it even funnier. Jokes and sing-a-longs and even dancing in the aisles. Fun+++

Everybody received GREEN bead necklaces.

Hey…… today is St. Patrick’s Day: Erin go Bragh   (Ireland Forever)

But I wonder… why did the ship not have special Irish food for the day?

Nor even Costa Rican food?  Or have a Costa Rican performance, like they did in Callao a few days ago?  

Dinner was with Sonia (she spoke so softly I could not hear her) and Dori, her partner. My notes say…. Boring!
