We could eat about 5:30 but that is much earlier than we normally eat. We could eat after around 8 but Marie would kill me so that is definitely out. So I suppose it's early. Sigh Last cruise we went to the WJ at 6:15 or so, and then to the party at 7:15pm. We didn’t see any other option that made sense. Thanks for the food tour and ship photos! Missed you at the M&M luncheon today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion of WJ ad were could not get a decent MTD reservation. We thought the lunch had fallen through and didn't go to breakfast till 9:30.

PCWalton1 Posted December 4, 2018 Author #154 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well not much to post today so far. We got up late, missed the M&M lunch. Marie did get a belly dancing lesson in the Centrum while I was enjoying time with my Kindle. Tonight we are going to eat dinner in Windjammer so we can make it to the Top Tier event then catch a comedy duo in the theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted December 5, 2018 Author #165 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hello, today is our port visit to Puerto Quetzal, Guatemaaa and we changed from our original ship tour to one called "Antigua in your hands with village". This consisted of a drive out to a village area to see tortilla handmade, coffee roasting & grinding, cloth weaving. We had a good time and even saw smoke coming out of one of the volcanoes. On the road first for about an hour & 15 minutes. sugar cane First look at Fuego volcano, we do get closer Water volcano Better view Can you see the profile of the Mayan princess in the rocks?

PCWalton1 Posted December 5, 2018 Author #166 Share Posted December 5, 2018 You can see how there is less vegetation on the slopes due to the recent activity A little smoke Even more smoke. This is some of the area devastated by the major eruption back in the spring. The trees are all bare Rebuilding is underway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted December 5, 2018 Author #167 Share Posted December 5, 2018 We passed by coffee plantations on the way to Antigua Potty break First stop as mentioned an indigenous village group fresh cooked tortilla with cheese, beans and sauce I am sure many of you know the name of this drink but I forget. It's made from rice, very sweet but tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted December 5, 2018 Author #171 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Next up was lunch, I don't recall the name of the restaurant but it was a lovely setting and the food was good. We had a hibiscus iced tea, bread, chicken and rice. Sorry no food pictures. You should know by know my cameraman is not good at that. Last stop was the jade "museum" for a 20 minute stop that of course ran closer to an hour as there are always those that don't start their shopping till the end of the 20 minutes. 😜 Raw jade They used five different grades of sandpaper to bring out the shine of the jade That's it. Hope you enjoyed our excursion, I know we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fast for three nights she has cashed in $60, $197, $97. I on the other hand have spent my twenty in record time. 😥 Role reversal today. Marie lost her $20 in about 5 minutes and I spent about 45 minutes turning my twenty into $450 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
