It takes an entire day to travel to or from Orkney, so Steve and I had a lot of time to play on the train this past weekend. We brought a deck of cards with us and then forgot to look up games that can be played with only two people. We played Go Fish for a bit and then made up a game based on Uno. I was the undisputed champion of that game, which resulted in Steve's assertion that I am a card shark. He illustrated his point with a little card shark dance, as documented below.
Steve also entertained us by drawing pictures on the motion sickness bag I picked up on the ferry when I thought I was going to be violently ill. This is his interpretation of my request for 'a lion in an old-fashioned bathing suit having cocktails with a gazelle on the beach.'

HAHAHA!!!! That's completely awesome!!! Thanks for posting that :) :) :) Interesting elephant... but a piece of art, indeed.
Oops, that was my typo. I actually asked for a lion.
Gin Rummy is my favorite 2-person card game. I once played it while driving up I-15 from California.
Ferries tend to disagree with my stomach, as well. Cruise ships=much better.
Did you use the "special deck" Steve bought in Glasgow? As to mal-de-mer after 19 years I have many cures to share. One involves a piece of bacon and a string.
KWB
HAH--I really like gin rummy but I couldn't remember the rules!
Moo--I have still never tried a cruise ship. Must put that on my list.
KWB--We couldn't find Steve's deck (that's the problem with such small cards!). We used the deck you left. It seems like bacon would be the last thing you'd want to see when you already feel ill.
Wow, I had no idea Steve was such an artist!
