Day 6 ends in port for the night

Dinner was the Captain's welcome dinner and began with a toast with some very sweet red wine. The servers wore special formal dresses and it was beautiful. The second picture is of some of the carved vegetables on our table.

After dinner, the crew had a special performance with most of them participating.

They also had some silly games and the Captain's Dance, when he chose the prettiest (in his opinion), fanciest dressed passenger to dance. The crew also asked some of the passengers to dance, with our River Guide Sophia asking Paul -- probably because he was sitting next to the dance floor. Since Paul doesn't dance, he said no at first--then realized by the shocked look on her face that "no" wasn't the correct answer. He danced and said he stepped on her toes several times. We had a lot of fun watching the crew and the British passengers dance and play the games. The crew was almost all young and were very good with the American music and western style dancing. It was clear that they had a lot of practice.
