Yesterday’s train ride was stunning, even with the rain. Lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich with lukewarm fries and dinner was a slightly dried out chicken cordon bleu — both served in the dining car.It was well past dark by the time we arrived at the hotel. I love the fact that we are told our room assignments before hand and keys are waiting in the doors for us followed shortly by porters with our bags followed by drinks in the bar.
And as for today? Breakfast buffet the best so far. I bailed from the float trip as did most of our crew. I wanted some downtime for reading and a little siesta.
The book I’m hoping to finish before the end of the trip is Michel, Michel. I want to finish it so I can pass it along to Joyce. It came from the Lopez Take It or Leave It at the dump.
Lunch was the best meal so far with garlic shrimp and a grande margarita followed by a runway show of young woman in costumes somewhere between traditional and Hollywood. It made all the old men in the crowd very happy.
Our small group is having appetizers and cocktails at 4pm — this must be the eating day with dinner and a “folkloric” show after that.
Tomorrow is another early day.
