FUN DAY!

This morning we started out walking to Port Lucaya on the Bell Channel. We walked about a mile when a charter bus stopped and asked if we wanted a ride to Port Lucaya for $1 each. So, we rode the rest of the way which was about another 1 and 1/2 miles. We had breakfast at Le Med and watched all of the cruise ship passengers parade through on their way to their shore excursions. We heard one couple say how rough it was on the ship the previous night and that they hoped tonight that they wouldn't be seasick. We walked through the shopping district and the straw market. There were 2 ice cream stores in the shopping district and the one even had sugar free ice cream. Then we went across the street to the casino. We couldn't figure out how the casino stays in business. There were very few people gambling and it's illegal for the Bahamians to gamble. I ended up being $1.95 ahead. Woo Hoo! But, that's better than losing. We bought a bottle of Ricardo's Banana Rum, a loaf of bread, and a dozen eggs. Then we took a taxi back to the resort.

Later, we both went swimming. And then we played Texas Hold 'Em with a couple named Hank and Diane who are from Ontario, Canada. What an enjoyable day!

(John lost at the casino, but I don't think it was much.)
