Life is a game...roll with it was on a T-shirt in the casino...
9:00 AM- walk out to the casino to get a taxi....get in and asked the cabbie to take us to Brigatine, to St. Thomas Catholic Churc....we get going, $19 + tip..cost us $23..half way there the cabbie says "why arn't you going to a Catholic church in Atlantic City?" we say...because we didn't think there was one in Atlantic City, cause our Garmin only had St. Thomas show up....he said there are 3 in Atlantic City as least....we said "shooot"...tried to ask a consierge (sp) last night, could not find one in the Nugget....found one after Mass in Harrah's..duh! so he gets on his phone and google'd it and came up with 3 churches within a couple miles of the casino...great just great....so he dropped us off and we went inside..what a pretty church..Our priest was from Africa and had a thick accent, but did a lovely homily and the choir was really great...so I tooks some pictures after Mass...one of the stained windows was the Blessed Mother....Mary, Queen of the Sea...very pretty and at the base ofthe window were starfish ....neat....so then after Mass, we walked several blocks, came to a Hotel, went inside and the gal called a cab for us....took us to Harrah's...we ate breakfast, then I got a card - no free money...so I didn't play...we walked back to Nugget...Ken was trying to find the ballgame on a t.v., me, I was looking for games to play...I walked by a blackjack table that was calling me...$1 table with .25 for the house -ea hand...so when the gal was dealing, I was winning...4 or 5 hands..then they changed dealers and you guessed it my luck changed...I kept looking over my shoulder to see if Ken was waiting out front for me, I never saw him...so I kept playing..the gal came by and I ordered a Margarita...so now I am down $9...I decide to quit...I waited for my drink..then cashed out...Ken was is a seat behind me about 6 ft.. watching me play..After my drink, we walked downstairs to get an ice cream cone...back to the boat...and yes,
paid my $12.99 so I could blog and upload some pics....been a good day just the same....
I learned today: Ask your cabbie for local establishments, before you tell them to take you to another town and have it cost you twice as much....
5:15 PM- ken has just fixed the light overhead the table and also did some oil filter work...we need a new filter...think we will get it in Cape May...will try to get there tomorrow if the wind and rain settle down....
We will eat supper on the boat, play some cards and go to bed...tomorrow is another day......
