Ran 10K this morning. Spent most of the rest of the day reading and relaxing at sea. Those are two great sentences.
Our cruise is winding down. (A sad sentence, indeed.) I would be remiss without mentioning our waiter and assistant waiter.
Peggie is from Nicaragua:

Alvaro is from Peru:

No request was too strange, no favor done with sarcasm or exasperation.
Wednesday night I asked Alvaro if he could find some sour cream. “This is stupid, but just ask and if it requires any more searching than that, don’t think another thing of it.”
A few minutes later he brought back a great big dish of the stuff. We stored it in our stateroom’s mini-fridge and applied it to light sunburns. It really works. Tell everybody. I told Alvaro the next night and he was surprised.
And then we all went out for baked potatoes.
OK, that very last part isn’t true, but this part is: when you cruise with Celebrity, you get great service.
