January 16: Another Sea Day

Just a few more photos of Sea Days here...Jan with Bernice, a new friend from Toronto, flowers in the Lido, Jan and Julia, one of our wonderful Lido staff, and Chris with Julia, too. Our morning usually begin with breakfast in the Lido...choices are excellent, but we try to limit ourselves to a more normal schedule like home...fancy breakfast once a week.
After that, it's usually up to the Crows Nest to read, Chris does the Suduku puzzles of the day, then usually at 10 there's a speaker we go to, followed by another speaker (usually about the area we are visiting), then at 11:30 it's lunchtime! 2 is usually another class, speaker, activity of some sort. Watched a movie (Hero with Sam Elliott) yesterday afternoon...otherwise it's a good relaxing time. Dinner is usually at 5:30 in the Lido again (which is transformed from its usual more crowded frantic pace), followed by coffee and chocolates in the Exploration Cafe (Library) where we are usually among only a few for an hour or so...the string duo is usually playing across the way, so it's a nice background.
We had breakfast this morning with Nancy, the crafts instructor on board, and saw her upcoming crafts which look wonderful, so I'll have to add those to my list of activities. They are so popular you have to get there at least a half hour before they begin! I'm going to help her and another cruiser with their cameras this afternoon...sounds like they've just mixed up a few settings, so I'll get them all set up for our upcoming ports.
Last night we received beautiful masks for the masked ball, but we did not attend...but they'll make their way home with us. However, we received another "pillow gift" that is not necessarily welcome...a large (make that 2) box of a game that seems to be sort of like "Risk" I think...not sure it will make the trip home...too large and heavy. I think I'll use my "Comment Card" in the cabin to remark about these kinds of gifts...the Moleskin Journal and several tote bags have been useful, but games? Not!
