We are between the southern part and northern part of Vietnam today. For me, another opportunity for a bridge lesson, time to play in the afternoon, and a cooking class with Paulette Mitchell. I really liked what we made today – an Asian soup with shrimp, a stir-fry chicken over rice, and my favorite – spring rolls in rice paper (so very healthy!) Also, Doug and I went to the second talk about Forensic DNA. We really enjoyed it and learned that animals and plants have their own individual DNA, and they have been used to solve murder crimes. Very interesting topic.
All day (and for weeks) we have had nothing but calm seas – which has been rather amazing. This afternoon, in a matter of 10-15 minutes we went from smooth seas to this:
While it may not look like it, we had 14 foot waves and lots of rockin’ and rollin’ all afternoon and evening! Captain said there were even 50 mph winds.
Dinner was another formal night, but there were lots of empty seats because passengers were a bit too “green” to eat – and some left in the middle of the meal! Fortunately, we have our sea legs, so we enjoyed our dinner. We are now back in the room to cozy up in bed and let the waves rock us to sleep!
