More of the same

Yesterday, I took two different cultural tours in the vicinity of Pattaya, Thailand. The ship is docked at Laem Chabang , not too close to Bangkok. However, since I spent some time in Thailand about 10 years ago with Marlyse and Ludy, I was not interested in going all the way to Bangkok from here. Today, we are still docked at LC, but I am spending the day trying to do the things I can never do when there are classes. I even have hopes of playing bridge this afternoon, if I don't get too bogged down with Adobe Photo Elements #7. I think I am the only one in the class who cannot seem to follow those directions, and it really frustrates me.
The tours yesterday included an entertaining elephant show, and a dance extravaganza on the history of Thailand, etc. but it was extremely hot, and I finally had to remain in the bus when it was time to walk around the orchid exhibition. My age gradually catches up with me (sometimes).
The story with the left propulsion pod is still not over; apparently it should be O.K., but now needs to be tested, and that will delay our arrival in Cambodia for tomorrow. However, since I don't have a visa for Cambodia, I won't go ashore in any case (and the ship is offering a free tour as recompense for arriving late).
Marlyse wanted me to do something special, yesterday, as it was the 56th anniversary of my marriage to Marcel, so I went to the Sushi Bar (at Silk Road) for dinner, and enjoyed it very much. I love to watch the preparation of all the delicacies they make, and certainly enjoy eating them!
Now, I have an hour to try and tackle the Photo assignment; wish me luck!
