Monday-Oct 31st, Day 6 of trip

Today we slept in till 10 a.m. We were tired and it was nice just to take it easy.  We got up and went to the gym. Then we had a nice lunch and  layed outside to get some good old sun.  We were by the basket ball side of the ship and we watched a bunch of guys play soccer.  There was one guy we met from Argentina who was playing.  He reminded us of a guy named Elias we knew in Argentina.  He was cocky but a good soccer player.
Then we walked and ran the track around the ship for some more exercise.  We went to the cabin around 4:30 p.m and showered and then made arrangements for our excursion in Rome.  We then had dinner at "Tempanyankis"  where they cook the Chinese food in front of you on a huge grill.  We sat with  6 other people, the cooks would throw up their utensils and play music with them while they cooked, and flip food into their high hats.  It was very entertaining and the food was delicious.  I had lobster and shrimp.  Bill had filet Mignon and shrimp.  The meal came with rice and soup.  After dinner we winded down and went to bed since we have a big day tomorrow in Egypt.
