I just came back from "sailaway" which is the party held each time we leave a port. Usually held outdoors by the Seaview pool (deck 8 aft of the Lido restaurant). There are drink specials, music (sometimes live) and free appetizers. Today, it gave "Sweatin' with the oldies" a whole new connotation, given the hot, humid temperatures.
I met a woman I've seen around but never talked with. She was sharing her experience one night in Rio and it was great to hear from a very happy, excited passenger. We agreed that dining/dancing and hanging out with locals in impromptu events is way more fun than organized tours of museums and cathedrals.
I also chatted with Connie, a lady I spoke with early in the cruise but haven't seen since. She'd gone on shore to get a hair cut today. Her take was that the $15 cut she got today was far superior to the last cut she got on the ship which cost $95.
Here are some more photos. Be kind.

| Clouds, smoke and a black sand beach. |

| The clouds were descending but what you're seeing near the ground is smoke. There were a number of fires burning. I'm guessing to burn trash. |

| Some of the beaches are white, some black. |
