Days at Sea

We are finding it difficult to post our pictures because of limikted band web on the ship. We were advised to reduce the density or compress the pictures, but this made the pictures very small. We will be experimenting!!

Jan. 11 This is our first day fo the 8 continuous days at sea.
We worked out in the gym, had breakfast then attended a bridge lecture. Jack is really enjoying this. Aren't you surprised?

At 11:00, I participated in a hands on culinary arts activity (cooking school). There were 12 of us involved in chopping, sauteing, mixing and cooking. We enjoyed our meal in the privacy of the Pinnacle Grill. Our instructor, Shawn, is the head chef in the grill. In the afternoon we spent some time in the library and on the computer, then to the gym again. We are trying to keep the pounds from piling on. After dinner we elected to go to the movie instead of listening to the classical pianist.

January 12
We started the day at the gym, showers, then breakfast. We attended the bridge lecture again which will probably become a daily activity until we start the excursions. There was also an interesting presentation by a Hollywood producer on the life of Elizabeth Taylor. He is a personal friend.
The ocean temperature is 82 degrees, a few degrees warmer than the atmosphere. The depth of the ocean here is 9,000 feet. We are now about 200 miles from the Galapagos islands.
The dinner was a black and white formal followed by a black and white ball. We set the clocks back tonight.
