It's a bit after midnight, I just walked past the lounge and saw Marcie doing what appeared to be the froog (sp?) I promised Mark I would come and check on the Steeler game score but I stopped in here first.

That picture that Tood (as the check-in girl called him, so now we are calling him that) posted was from the restaurant where we had the private room and the Italian restaurant owner that stands at your table and talks to you like you are family. He asked if he could order for us and we didn't quite understand what he said and we said yes. After about 3 starters, pasta and various other courses, we were all stuffed and this was BEFORE they brought the main course so we told Gigi that we were very full so he cancelled the main entre. Thank goodness!! After 10 bottles of wine, we had no room for any more food. Well, with the exception of me and a few others, we found room for desert.

Tonight was dinner with Captain Knute (I think Miss Ngare had something to do with that!) and we had a very nice time. He is quite charming with a jolly good sense of humor. Of course, he knew about LCT but I don't think he knew that I get a crush on every RSSC Captain that I come in contact with ;) After dinner, we started doing shots of the Captains favorite liquer, Aquavit (I am sure I just butchered the spelling on that) and I am pretty sure that was my first time doing shooters with a Captain. It really was a fun dinner with great conversation!

Today we went to Pompeii with a tour but our tour quide wasn't holding our flea size attentions so we snuck off on our own and caused havoc in the ruins :) We were looking for a certain area of the ruins and Marcie asked one of the employees if he could tell us where it was and he barked this at her, "If you would pay for a guide like everyone else, you would know where it was" Well, we DID pay for a guide but he was too long winded! So we went on our merry way through the ruins and of course we got silly and had fun. I can't exactly say what we were doing, or I would have to edit my post!

Well, I am being paged so I think I have to go back down to the lounge and see if I can catch Marcie doing the jerk :) I am really having a marvelous time and I think the week is going much too fast!! I will check in again later.

PS, tomorrow night is the Brown & Keene/LCT cocktail party, that should be lots of fun!!
