Jason reporting from the Disney Magic's Cove Cafe this Tuesday evening after a day of food, shopping, ruins, and, of course, Fools!

As it turns out, Travis and I didn't make it back to Rockin' Bar D last night and instead made it an early night. We enjoyed formal night in Lumiere's and The Golden Mickey's of course! I had really forgotten how well this show was done and very much enjoyed it.

Anyway, by the time we returned to the room and changed we were just too damn tired to go back down to Beat Street. Earlier today Sandra reported that several of the Fools were there and that, believe it or not, Mel's bra turned up in a Dirty Martini at that very bar last evening. Gives new meaning to the name of the drink, I guess...

Because of our early evening last night we were up by 7:00 this morning. We decided to head up to Deck 9 and 10 to watch the ship pull into port and grab some time in the whirlpool. Both events were very nice.

As we ate breakfast at Topsiders we noted that the water was actually quite rough with pretty good sized swells. We were not sure we would be able to snorkle due to the conditions and sure enough, the DCL organized snorkle excursions were announced to be cancelled by Andy just a few minutes later.

With the plan out, we scrambled to rethink our activity for the day. We thought we would join Robin's Ruins Tour and jumped on that. As it turns out, it was great fun! Even though we encountered much more liquid sunshine, copious amounts of thick Mexican mud, a couple of scorpions and several of Robin's ex'es, the Fools made up for it!

After the ruins we ran back to the ship to catch the tail end of the buffett in Topsiders before it closed at 2:00 and then headed back out to do some shopping. Sandra and Gina managed to offend the entire city before we again stepped foot on the Magic but they did manage to find some cool trinkets. Not to mention the fact that Sandra may have a new baby on the way! (Pics will follow when we arrive home!)

Several of the Fools have decided on an impromptu dinner at Topsiders this evening so we'll be three for three there by the end of the day. See, even after NINE Disney Cruises we're still finding new things to do!

Hope you all are doing well back home! We miss you all!
