A Bucket of Fun

Monday, March 2, 2026

Gary and Julie had lunch at the hotel restaurant, then called to tell us to pose on the balcony. We are on floor 16.

They had struck up a conversation with the friendly bartender and ended up with buckets of drinks. Julie offered me a taste of her Voodoo drink. I tasted it and then threw it on the ground while trying to hand it back.

FAIL.

I made Keith go back with her to the friendly bartender and she refilled it for free. Phew.

We went to a pasta dinner and magician show in another tower of the hotel. There was a buffet offering of pastas, salad, bread, and several desserts. Renzi the magician did a good show – an excellent card trick with an invisible deck of cards, rope work, spongy balls, and he taught a guy named Dan how to link and unlink rings. Dan might not be able to do it again, but I really enjoyed it.

Alexander messaged there was a small spill of leather dye – not to worry, he had on an art smock and table was covered.
