1-11 Day 37 At Sea

 

Morning: bridge and cooking demo with the two main chefs from the ship.  Lobster folded in chicken breast in a coconut curry sauce; also bay shrimp around lemongrass with a spicy sweet bell pepper dip.  Both were excellent – the last one my favorite.

Afternoon: Doug went to his secular humanist meeting and both met up later for talk by Ambassador Walker – this time about international conflict and cooperation and their diplomacy.  It was quite informative.  Then I learned how to put pictures in my Blog, so I’m going to try this and see if it works! 

Evening:  skipped dessert at dinner!  This is quite an accomplishment – two days in a row.  But the highlight came as I was walking the deck after dinner.  The seas were like a lake today – the calmest I’ve seen them.  As I looked out at this huge expanse of beautiful blue ocean, my eye caught an extra movement.  It was a group of about 3 or 4 dolphins jumping in and out of the water.  What an unexpected joy!  Made the whole day!
