GALA TAUCK ESPRIT SUPPER AND ON TO BELGIUM

 Last night we had a gala dinner and I wore my blue ascot ensemble.  The attitude on this ship, though, is that t-shirt/shorts/slippers will still be allowed, but nobody did. Started with Glenfiddich on rocks in the bar,]. Note my Blue-bar Pigeon bidding us goodbye. The Tauck All Rivers Tasting. The first wine was a Mosel Riesling.  The second, an unusual La biole du pape Chateauneuf du Pape I am allergic to shrimp, so I had a salmon caviar dish instead. An Austrian Cream of Pumpkin Soup with coconut foam We had swordfish and beef tenderloin At around 8PM the ship departed.  Still mostly daylight. With a white port and Vinha Maria, dessert and petit four.  Six wines and water.  The supper was fabulous.  The departure was wonderful. We head for Belgium.  Remember the fim,  If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium , a 1969 rom com with Suzanne Pleshette and others, including cameos by John Cassavetes, Joan Collins, Vittorio De Sica, Donovan, Anita Ekberg, Ben Gazzara and Robert Vaughn?
