at sea...March 31

Tuesday, March 31, 2009 – at sea –
Started the day with exercise!! I walked the decks and it was gloriously sunny and breezy, went to the fitness center and swam. We can see a few ships way out there but no animals…yesterday they say a large pod of porpoises and a whale!!
I finished my book “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” and worked on the computer while listening to the lectures on TV. Met friends for lunch, worked on projects, Gene had a Balinese massage and spent time in the hydro-pool and three types of saunas and met with friends in their cabin for happy hour! We enjoyed seeing their cave diving photos and slide shows of the various ports of call. Nice dinner and then “Katzenrummer” pianists entertained – four hands on one piano! I went to see the movie “Doubt” and worked on the next private shore excursion.

Lectures: “Astronomy: Building the Universe” by Astronomer Francisco Diego; “Innocent Freighter on the Outside” by Army Col. G. McCormack; Hearts and Harps by RADA Drama team (poetry reading).
