Midday snack in the Bistro – bread, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, salmon strip (I love salmon). Lunch is leek soup, mixed grill (shrimp, scallops, salmon, red snapper). The seas have calmed, but the sky has a high overcast. Tea time is 3:30pm – tea, scones, cookies. Claudia’s first class is at 4:45pm – four students that are real beginners (one is a guitar player that wants to learn piano). Tonight is the first “ formal” night, so there are lots of tuxes, but my dark suit fits right in. Dinner companions have changed slightly. The one who was looking for a singles table found one with the priest, one of the Ambassador Hosts (single men who are solely dancing partners), and the one single gentleman who is 93 years old. We also lose the Protestant minister and his wife, but gain one of the computer instructors who we have sailed with before and a Finnish woman and her aunt. It’s a good table with lots of discussion – very interesting people. Since tonight is the first formal night, lobster is on the menu. I start off with an oyster appetizer, a salad, lobster with asparagus, and finishing with cookies and cream yogurt. Two of the others have caviar, and another two had steak. The rest of us went for the lobster. As you can see, we do not go hungry and we are never stuffed – always just the right amount.
After dinner entertainment was the stage show – Million Dollar Musicals, singers and dancers take you through a medley of music from famous musicals.
Earlier today we finally got set up with our account so we can have internet access.
My method of using the time wisely (since it is costly), is to do all my writing in Word, then copy and paste into the emails.
Anyway, we have our sea legs and are enjoying our time together. We cross a time zone tonight.
