OLD FOLKS Panama Canal Cruise 3

I mentioned that there are no children on this cruise.

Only old folks.

“I see all the couples walking around out on the deck holding hands,”

I report to DeRay.

“Really. All those old geezers?”

“Yes.”

“Well, maybe they’re holding each other up,” he quips.

  

   

Just had to add this one for good measure.

Ed and I went to the Showroom to be entertained

by Vivienne & The HALCats.

We enjoyed watching all the fat people dance.

I wished I had my camera.

I never went anywhere without it again.

Old people are a distinctive society unto themselves.

The guy next to me in the Showroom,

takes out his hearing aids

and sets them on the cocktail table in front of him.

I anxiously await the teeth coming out next.

That's mine and Eddy's feet just watching the pot bellies pass by.

This woman from Canada broke her leg swatting a fly two weeks before the cruise.

 Wheelchairs, electric carts, canes, and walkers aplenty.

Off to gamble.

Here's a fashion statement for you.  That's her hair--not a hat!

 Bathing beauties, old people style,
are slightly different than young people.

I couldn't resist.  I'm mean I know.

That slender one on the right side in the orange shirt is the Cruise Director, Anthony.

The day we went through the canal, all you had to do was jump in the pool and you received a certificate saying you swam across the Panama Canal.

And that’s why we didn’t go swimming!

This is the way the pools usually look--empty.

Especially empty when the seas are rough and the water is splashing out!
 Old arthritic folks can jitterbug.
You better believe it.

This woman is from Salt Lake City.  She didn't miss a dance.  Crow's Nest.

This was "The World's Largest Cruise Sale" International Ball

This picture was taken in the Crow's Nest at the Tropical White Party with Vivienne & The HALCats.

And that’s why we didn’t dance.

You gotta love ‘em,

I mean “us”.
