BLT Day #8: Rain can't stop the Mardi Gras!

---

Well, it rained all day today, but that didn't stop the fun inside. Between the Caribbean Caliente celebration during the day and the Mardi Gras celebration last night, it was another fun and relaxing day. We also saw a whale swimming right by our ship in the afternoon - the first sign of sea life we've seen this trip.

We also had time for some leisurely reading and resting - which came in handy since we've been staying up later than usual at night and losing an hour every other night or so because of the time changes. Time has really flown by this past week and we've enjoyed every minute of it.
