Behind the Scenes Ship Tour

Hi Girlies,

KT, I can’t tell what we wished for you or it won’t come true!!

Yesterday we had a behind the scenes tour of the ship.  It is very unusual to get a tour like this, and I want to show you some of the things we saw.

Lots of water

Crew bar and disco.  It is probably a bit more lively than the passenger disco (geezer disco).

Controls the Captain uses to drive the ship, looks like a video game.

Nanoo on the bridge!

A couple more pictures.  This is our waiter, Lylian, and our head waiter, Franz.  Franz is carving a kosher chicken he special ordered for us, it was so good!  Lylian is really nice and takes very good care of us at dinner time.  She is from Brazil, and her parents visited the ship when we were in Rio.

Ask Daddy about this guy.  He is lecturing on the ship about Brazil.  Just last week he was at Mercer.

OK, girlies, bye for now.  Tomorrow we make our first stop on the Amazon River!

Love,

Gpa and Nanoo
