At 8:00 am promptly I was up for my shower. Today was Snuba, followed by lunch and some shopping. After Snuba, we ran into Maria and Sara at the Bus Stop bar next to the casino... this is also where I met Anna [18yo HS grad on the cruise with her mom - and yet smoking and drinking] who stared at me wide eyed like she was about to eat me alive. Just as I was explaining to Maria that I never saw Angela, Barbara and Kelsey at the same time I see her and her sister (Sara) - Angela shows up. She was wearing a hot top with a cool hat. You could see that she had been in the sun all day due to the strap marks on her shoulders. I had been dying to see her... and she said she was going to watch the "R" rated comedy show at Midnight. First she had to go off for a quick smoke... and I figured she'd catch up with me before she headed in... I was wrong. I didn't notice until half the show was over. [Maria convinced me to stay and talk to her. In retrospect, wish I had gone to catch up with Angela.]

Later I found myself at Reflections (again) dancing the night away with Maria, Sara, Anna and Angela(!). I tried to get all the girls on the dance floor with me, and Anna ran out almost immediately. After the Snuba my quadriceps were rather sore and Anna wanted to dance doggy style. I tried to get low with her but my legs were on FIRE. [I had simply had no energy left and my muscles were in agony.] At one point, Angela called me over for a drink and we shared the special of the night - some sort of blue shot in a tall thin glass. We drank it simultaneously with our arms wrapped around the other. [Man, was I really starting to fall for her.] I tried to reciprocate and ordered the special for us... (TWO) and ended up with FOUR shots. So Angela gave the two extras to Sara and Maria. After dancing with Angela once, she stepped away so Maria could dance with me. I on the other hand was trying to get Maria to dance with some of the other guys - in part because she really couldn't dance, and in part because I really wanted to dance with Angela again. We closed the place down for the third straight night and hung out briefly on deck. [Once again, I didn't rise to the challenge and bowed out early leaving Angela on deck with another guy. I'm sure she would have preferred me.]
[Anna, Sara, Me, Maria and Jonathon.]
