It’s hard to believe this is the last day of March and that next month this adventure will be over. We are not ready for that quite yet!
Today was a day of “classes” for the most part. Started with bridge (after a mandatory temperature check before getting off in Shanghai) and then Sam Donaldson’s talk about Leadership. It was interesting as he gave examples of strong leaders both in politics and other arenas of life. He really is keen on Reagan. He discussed him both in last night’s talk and again today – in a very positive way. I had to miss Paulette’s slideshow on Food Markets of China because it was slated at the same time as Donaldson’s talk.
Doug and I had lunch for two in the Lido and then this afternoon was the speaker, Peter McGugan, who spoke on consciousness and how it can affect the energy around you. It was a little “out there” but still interesting. He even commented that he is not the typical Holland America guest speaker, but he commended them for being open enough to have him make several presentations. It’s all about having an open mind and learning about all kinds of ideas whether or not you agree with them. That is basically what the whole cruise is about anyway.
Today it was so foggy, the ship’s fog horn blew most of the day. Also, we noticed that the water was more littered with debris than we had previously seen. We are closer to China’s shore line and probably could have seen land had it not been for the fog.
For the first time in almost a week, we had dinner with our whole table tonight. It was fun to catch up with everyone about what they had been doing and seeing.
Since tomorrow is a long day on a tour and we leave fairly early in the morning, we decided to skip the show and movie tonight. Plus, for whatever reason, we haven’t been getting as much sleep as we were, so decided to pack it in early tonight!
