Wednesday March 4, 2015 – Parati, Brazil

We got up early as we have a tour on a schooner to some of the islands.   They picked us up right off of the ship.  We went to 3 different islands and Tim snorkeled at each.  I swam at the second.  Beautiful relaxing adventure.

We got back to the ship and went to lunch at the Grill.  Then we took the tender into Parati.  An interesting town with large cobble-stoned streets that flood a lot during high tide.  Colorful doors and interesting architecture.

We went back to the ship and relaxed – Tim worked out.

We got dressed and went for cocktails at 7 in Horizons and met Margaret and Ted.  We had lots of cocktails and then went together to dinner in the Grand Dining Room.  We closed the dining room and then went back to Horizons for more drinks.  The show had just ended so we got there just ahead of them.  It was karaoke night and the performers weren’t so good.  We had a drink and then went to bed.
