Somewhere at sea off the coast of Central America, December 12, 2008

This is the second of three sea days in a row and I ADORE sea days! To give you an idea of what it's like:

7:30 am Natalie and Ricki walk in the Neptune pool for 45 minutes since we are old crocks with bad knees

10:00 am Meteorologist/oceanographer Dr. Alan Nierow lectures on Ocean Phenomena

11:00 am Beginner Needlepoint

12:00 Latin American Buffet with Natalie and Rod

1:30pm Cleaveland Clinic Health Talk by Donald Mlone, Jr. M.D.

2:15 pm Free Slot Tournament---didn't win

3:00 pm Odyssey Art at Sea, Watercolors

4:30 pm Berlitz Conversational Spanish (David)

6:45 pm Christmas carols and Christmas Tree Ligthtening

7:30 pm socializing with Judith and Larry and then Miles and Dan

8:00 pm dinner

9:30 pm Mark Merchant ventriloquist tres funny!

10:30 pm Casino (Memo to self: lose some money)

1:30 am bedtime

And, I missed several activities: Team Trivia, Digital Photo finishing class, Complimentary dance class, movie "The Women," Golf Clinic, Pilates Class, Passport to Music Yamaha keyboard class; bingo, etc....

Great weather, calm seas, such fun. Wish you all were here! Captain John Oakland is leaving the ship for vacation in Caldera and Captain Giske is coming on board.

Haven't caught sight of Jack Klugman, yet, who is supposed to be a guest speaker.

Today it's a party with the Captain at 11:30 am for all those doing the entire circumnavigation of South America and the Mozart Tea. There's a new show tonight "Route 66." What a life!!

love,

Ricki and David

Thanks for taking us with you, Ricki. Sounds like a typical Crystal day at sea with all the wonderful activities. And so nice to put faces to the names at Prego. The food looked delicious -- please send leftovers back to the States!

Can we look forward to David speaking fluent Spanish when we visit in March?
