Sea Day #2

 

Yesterday we skipped breakfast and headed to another game of LCR (Left Right Center).  I came in second place in the first game.  So close!!  After the game we headed to SeaDay Brunch.   I had a delicious cheese danish, Flamin' Tomato Soup and Mac and cheese. Angie had the same soup and a salmon Caesar salad.  All very good.

After brunch we played Actor's Trash Trivia.  This is where they give you three items you might find in an actors trash can. And you name the actor.  For example:. A volleyball, a toy cowboy hat and a box of chocolates. Answer below.

After that we headed to the casino.  We played a couple of the "piggy bank" machines where the pig just keeps getting bigger as certain combinations come up on the reels.   My machine kept hitting for $25 and $30 and I won a mini jackpot. Angie's machine had some smaller payouts but wasn't participating as much in the fun.  I won about $90 and I think between us we won $10.  A very fun hour of playing.

We then went up to the buffet to get some ice cream.  They have a very large toppings bar.  We noticed we were passing Cabo San Lucas which we could see off the port side.  Since our cabin is on the port side we headed there to watch from our balcony.  We spotted several whales and even saw one breach.

It was then time of a mandatory rest period. After a nap, we got ready for an early dinner.  Tonight we'd be having dinner with our friends Bill and Ruth and JiJis which is an Asian themed specialty restaurant.  We got ready and were planning to meet them at karaoke before dinner. We didn't expect a 5PM karaoke session to be so popular!!  At 4:40 they already had 25 people signed up.  So there would be no karaoke tonight. 

We headed to Pig & Anchor and tried the White Stout beer.   It was unlike any stout I have had.  Smooth and sweet like most stouts, but a bit fruity. And higher alcohol than most at 10%.

It was time to head to dinner.  JiJis has a large menu of starters and mains.  The plates are for sharing so you collaborate with your table mates on what you want to eat.    My favorite dishes are the mung beans with pork, the Chinese broccoli and a stewed pork dish with housin sauce.  All so good.

 

We then headed to the production show called "Rock Revolution".  This was titled as a showcase of the rock songs from 1969. Let's just say that title was very misleading.  Not only were many of the songs not even from 1969 (the Beatles Sgt Pepper came out in 1967), many weren't even from that genre.  Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Sound of Silence" may be great songs - but they aren't rock songs.  And not from 1969 (they are from 1964 and 1970 respectively).   And there were no songs from the Rolling Stones or The Who, certainty both iconic rock bands from 1969..  Even focusing on  just the songs they did include, the show wasn't fun to watch and it didn't look like the performers were having fun. 

After the disappointing show, we went to watch the string trio in Ocean Plaza. 

They played contemporary songs from Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson. Always interesting to hear modern songs played on strings!!  After that we watched a game show where guests had to act out certain scenes from movies such as Titanic and Jurassic Park..  It was fun to watch. We then headed to bed since we had  a big day planned in Puerto Vallarta.  We have a site visit to the Dreams resort.  Angie will do some filming and then we'll purchase a day pass for the rest of the day.  We have a late departure today (9PM) so will have several hours to enjoy the pool and other amenities.
