FREEDOM OF THE SEAS: BEHIND THE LENS. September 8-15, 2024

[Lionesss]

September 11, 2001

 

 

 

A date not soon forgotten. 

I dedicated my prayers for those who through  their fate were lost souls  as first responders doing their job———and others  who were in the wrong place when tragedy occurred.

 

 

❤️

 

 

 

 

 

🇯🇲

 

 

Slept in a little. 
 

Breakfast in CHOPS hot and perfect.

 

Cabin attendant had room cleaned when we returned. 
He even left us a guard animal. 

 

 

“WOOF”

 

 

Today must be ships washy washy day. 
Men ( lol) cleaning inside and out. 
Outside tethered to bucket cages with scrub brushes on mop handles. 
 

Inside climbing up to reach high places. 

 

 

Wondering if it was there weekly cleaning or time for inspection. 
 

 

Now for the weather. 

 

 

 

Be safe.

Responding to a question about Poker slot machines. 
 

I found these near the entrance by the Schooner bar. 
 

The machines are off because we are in port. 
 

There were 3 machines on each side. Back to back. 

I do not know if there are any more many computer modern machines that do not display what they are when not in use. 
 

I do not take pictures of machines with “HOOOOMANS” gambling. 
 

 

 

 

And some closing remarks. 
 

 

Casino hit or miss in the way of winning. 
 

When I hit my jackpot it was not announced as others also weren’t. 
 

But. 
 

Guess who was the “Snowball “ raffle winner last night. 
 

Yup. 
 

Me. 

 

Now we are off to explore port. 
 

Later.

Nothing like “chillin” walking on the HOT PAVEMENT in Jamaica. 

 

 

 

Vendors not too pushy here. 
 

Bartering for lower prices. 
 

A lot of Jamaican souvenirs made in China. 
 

But hat maker and wood crafters working as we typing. 

 

 

Sad day when Margarittville closed.
Best hangaburger in town. 
 

 

 

 

Freedom over looking the port

 

 

Many of the stores have turned in too “Diamond “. Stores. 
Save your American dollars. 
You can buy  a 2 1/2 carrot diamond for under $2,500. Guaranteed real. (lol). 
We left it for someone else to enjoy. 
 

I am impressed as to what you can get in the Pharmacy store. 
 

 

Any over priced over the counter drugs you could ever need. 
And few drugs that normally need a  prescription.   
 

 

Sign of the times. 
 

 

Be safe.

Time to play, ARE YOU SMARTER than a fourth grader. 
 

Okay. 
 

Who can tell me the other  national bird of Grand Cayman. 
 

The well known one is:

 

The Grand Cayman Parrot.  

So who is his  mate. 
 

HINT.  
 

If you enlarge the following picture and look very very close you will see one for sure and maybe the other. 

 

 

 

 

 

Try not to cheat. 
Try not too google. 

Phone a friend is not part of this game. 
 

Good luck.

I wonder if they have the fat ankle pills that I got in Cozumel a few years ago?🤔

 

I will need to check in March, when my cruise supply runs low, and we are there.

No. I don’t care when the chance of eating a domestic animal is possible. 
 

On another note did you ever watch the movie Soylent Green.?

No I’m not.

Last night when we were going back to cabin we stopped at casino bar to get some cans of Coke. 
The bartender goes.

Over the hills and thru the Dales trying to walk thru casino looking for Miss Heidi. 
 

I never knew you could gamble with your shoes off. 
 Or 

 

Smoke in the non smoking section. 
 

 

Now unless she has laryngitis I have not heard her annoying unusual song that gamblers turn the volume up to announce their spin wins. 
 

So Heidi must be MIA. 
 

Just saying. 
 

Good night.

Good morning.  
 

We are somewhere on our way to Nassau. 
 

But. 
 

First. 
 

Another update. 
 

CANKLED UPDATE.   day 5. 
 

 

The other half.

 

Spouse. 
 

His legs are a tad on the furry side. 
 

Never has edema. 

 

 

Now. Drum roll. 
 

Now me.  
 

 

 

I guess when you do the walk you don’t do the edema. 
 

Plus eating healthy. 
 

Avoiding junk food. 
 

And drinking tons of water. 
 

However. I did have 2 drinks last night. 
 

Later
