Postcard#2
I'm now at on my way from Puerto Vallarta to Mazatlan ("Matzohland"). And I'm a bit homesick. I've made friends with the couple (and their baby) I have dinner with, but my nannying schedule cuts me off from being socialable with people my own age/ people I could hang out with that aren't the ones who I'm nannying for.
I'm going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight and wish I had the proper clothes for it.
Good things: I saw a sperm whale the other day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 of them!!!!!!!!!!! Jumping out of the water and everything!!!!!!!!!!!! And then I saw dolphins!!!!!!!!!! And some sea lions!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in heaven!!!
The ship is decorated in nekkid people and people in various renaissance and medieval garb (umm the garbed people not really the nekkid). It doesn't help the homesickness. And I've never actually been homesick before on a vacation. Its quite strange.
I have a nekkid portrait on my door. I call him Hadrian (he's on the wall... please someone get it!) And the lamps in my room look like boobs. Or maybe its just me.
I also ordered a strawberry bisque for lunch the other day and some quite silly teens at a table near me (speaking in atrocious fake British accents) thought it was called a "bisquick" soup. So they ordered "Lord Bisquewik's special soup." I completely choked on my soup, and almost cried with my laughter. Quietly of course, although my table didn't understand, and when I explained I had a friend who goes by that name they thought it was funny, too.
I'm really enjoying the food on the ship. WAAAAAAAAAAY too much, but its all sooooooo good!
