Day 39 Mon Feb 20 A bit of light cloud but sunny, forecast is for 65F, (18C)

Sheila slept through her 8 AM Zumba class, waking up at 9 o’clock, so it’s off to the pool for our Water Volleyball. Judy & some of her family group joined in too. Matt & Larry went hiking. After the game I went for lunch at the Cabana. This week it is Dattilo Italian restaurant. I had Lasagne and listened to Larry Stevens playing & singing till 2 PM. Sheila came back to the RV to put on warmer clothes & make herself a sandwich. She’s trying to avoid a high calorie lunch for when we have a dinner tonight at the Mediterranean Nights event. The sun came out about 1:30 & it warmed up a lot. Back at the RV, Sheila worked at proofing journal entries & checking/sending e-mails while I rested. Then it’s off to the Mediterranean Nights dinner show starting at with dinner at 6 & show a bit before 7. We had a great meal of a large chicken breast, Greek salad, pita bread, humus, and baklava for dessert that was homemade by a GVP resident--really good! There was free wine and $1.00 shots of Ouzo. Sheila’s shot glass, (plastic), had a small chip in the rim so they gave her a second one free and then later when she was up at the bar they asked if she’d like another shot but she replied that she didn’t have her dollar with her, so they gave it to her free. That’s 3 shots for $1.00! The show was great, Sheila thought the dancers were much better than the Bazillian dancers two weeks ago. The girls came out into the audience and encouraged members of the audience to dance with them. I did, Sheila & Judy both did & we have photos to prove it. The snake charmer was actually just a woman who danced with a live, pure white snake, a python someone. It was only about 3 ft. long. Another woman danced while balancing an Arabian sword on various parts of her body. The dance routines were very colourful and each one was different than the others, unlike the routines in the Brazilian carnival, most of which were the same. The show finished & we were home by 8:30 PM to do the journal & watch TV.
