We did something totally "touristy" last night and went on the dinner cruise on a river boat. Let us say one does not do these things for the food, but it was such a lovely evening and a great night for it.. and grand time had by all.
The evenings participants came in all sorts of sizes and colours and dress. We had a wonderful entertainer on our deck who kept the party moving He kept putting on music (he sort of played along) and all the women would jump up and dance... at one time he played something called the "electronic wave" which all seemed to know.. local ladies celebrating a birthday and a nice lady my age from Colorado ,,, and later on something called the Harlem shuffle all the women hit the floor Like a code of some sort. I asked a man standing beside me what it was all about.. he reported he had been to a convention in Atlanta, and when the Harlem Shuffle started all the women hit the floor (thousands of them!) The best thing I could think of is they have all been to line dancing class. All shapes and colours up there shaking it! And were they have a ball.
When we arrived on the boat early, to watch the proceedings on the River Walk, we met a wedding party. They had had the top deck to themselves and had their wedding at five oclock(captain married them) and then they stayed on to have their dinner and dancing with the rest of us. They were a group of about 10.. had their own table and were feted by the rest of us with great applause when they took their wedding dance. I thought this was a very fun cost effective way to have a wedding. Service on the river boat with the great back ground, busker musicians down below (one particularly great trumpet player) seranading.. and then a nice boat trip.
A great night nice stroll back to the hotel, a little Brit tv on PBS and to pack...
