Bahía Drake and my "Fan club"

Two details I did not include in the last post:

There are two extra deckhands on-board the ship currently: Erick and Henry.  They are both from Bahía Drake (Drake's Bay), here in Costa Rica.  The other night, we stewards finished our duties for the night, hopped on a Zodiac with Erick and landed on the beach in Drake's Bay.  We hiked up the road to a little cantina that Henry used to own; it was a cozy spot to enjoy an Imperial, la cerveza de Costa Rica. :D

Although it was a nice place, Henry brought us to this other cantina down the road that had a dance floor.  We "limed" there a bit and then returned to the ship, meeting our midnight curfew.  On the way back in Zodiac, however, all of the lights went out in the town and there was one, solitary tree that lit up near the shore...Henry said it was aliens or something. :D  I still do not know the cause of the light show...intriguing!

Also, like I mentioned in the last post, I have finished my first trip with Lindblad.  At the farewell dinner for the guests, we did crew introductions and I received a thunderous applause.  Apparently, I have a fan club, consisting of the people whose cabins I clean and who I diligently serve at meals, and the family of 12 in the corner, which includes all of these teenage girls asking me personal questions.  I guess I had a "fan club" on my first trip.  What a way to start out my contract!
