Since Nicholas actually booked us on a retirement cruise, we really stood out quite a bit for being somewhat younger.

That made it somehow easy for us to meet and get to know the entertainers on board.

See, the keyboard player and I are best friends already:

That’s Ashley and Nick and Marino.  I liked that both Ashley and Nick were from Canada.  But they didn’t recognize me as their Winter Olympics mascot.  Minus points for that.

But they let me play in the band.  Ok extra points for that.  They were pretty good and I liked to sit and hear them sing.  So points for that too.

During our port call to Mazatlan, we were told by another awesome performer, Michael Bragg that the must-go place for wifi + cheesecake was Allegro.  So we went to find said famed cafe.

Nicholas worked.  I ate cheesecake.

Good deal.

Good cheesecake.
