Brilliance of the Seas..Canada/New England/Repositioning: Halloween 10-31-14

Debbie had a great night in the casino playing 3 card poker. We left and went to the show which was Donovan and Rebecca. They are a married couple that have been on America’s got Talent and have apparently won several trips into the Guinness Book of World Records too. He sings and she twists her body into unbelievable positions and then they do it together. Some of their positions were difficult to watch as they looked to be painful. The cruise director was also very funny tonight talking about them after the show.

We woke up this morning on our approach into St. Lucia. Debbie and I haven’t been here in about five years and this time we docked at a new terminal. It poured rain while we were at breakfast and the girls had a hard time deciding if they were going to go to the beach or not but in the end they did. We delivered our Halloween bags and cards to the other girl’s cabins before heading out. We gave one the Desree who was so excited to get candy! Judy, Debbie and I went shopping. Debbie wanted to go to the straw market to look for baskets for her “stuff.” When we docked here before we could walk to the market but it was a hike in the heat and humidity from this side of the harbor so we got a cab. It was the same nasty place I remembered it to be. I took a picture of a sign on the wall that said “No Pissing Here”….okay then, nice place huh? Debbie had to look through every stall before finding a basket she liked. She also was buying vanilla beans and other spices. Judy and I agreed that the spices purchased here in the islands did not taste the same as the ones we get at home. We said we like the chemicals they use at home that change the taste…of course we laughed and laughed. It was so hot and humid there that Judy and I looked like we had just gotten out of the pool while Debbie didn’t seem to be affected at all. We got a cab back to the ship and went to lunch.

Ok then...nuff said

This market is huge and oh so hot...

We have finished our T shirts and are getting ready to shower for dinner. We will see if any of the girls can guess who we are (shhhhhh…The Black Eyed Peas). They are having a Halloween acrobatic show in the atrium tonight. We saw them practicing when we got off the ship. It is quite interesting to see how they set up the wires, hoists and harnesses that they have to for the performers. I would be skeptical to let them raise me on a wire twelve decks up. I will let you know how the evening went.
