It's sooooo quiet here .....

The Island Jewel has been very quiet with only the 4 of us here, although Susie is always good for a conversation or two.   Last night we had a Mexican dinner.  It was rather amusing, as I asked Soren og Birgit if they had ever heard of enchiladas.  They assured me that they had, but looked somewhat askance at the idea of enchiladas for dinner.  I set the table with rice, frijoles and enchiladas.  I served the enchiladas, calling them by name and Soren & Birgit laughed.  It seems in Denmark, the word for silage (feed for cows) sounds like enchiladas!!  I bet they were very nervous about dinner for a few hours prior!

The Danes had a good time up in Corolla - went to the top of the light, toured the Whalehead Club, etc.  I am so happy that they are enjoying themselves.

Today is their last day at Island Jewel.  I'll be so sad to see them leave.  We are doing the beach today, then tonight we're dining at Owen's.

Here's some pics of last night's dinner and some random shots of this 'n that.

Oh, by the way ...... thanks for the comments!  Patty, I've found it much easier to play Yahtzee! on the deck overlooking the ocean than when I'm driving & eating pizza!  Chris ..... you're right, the storm sleep was my best ever!  LoL
