DAY 3

DAYDAY #3 At sea

WE have sailed about 1100 miles. The ocean is 14500 feet deep. We are in an area call the sargousa sea. This is named for the sea weed that grows here. It has been said once you enter this area you never get out!!!!!! Great with me as long as the food holds out.

Seas were ruff most of the morning and early afternoon then calmed down. The hydrotherapy pool was closed all day today because of the seas. People were getting pushed out of the pool.

It has been nice enough that we have sat out every morning in the sun for breakfast. Today went by very fast. These days at sea are wonderful.

After lunch we went for a mile and a quarter walk around the deck. Then off the spa using the various amenities and an hour and a half went by like nothing.

We met a few friends for cocktails at the star bar.
Then off to dinner at Magenta, one of the main dining rooms. While waiting for our table we listened to the string quartette in the atrium.

Diner was quick and delicious. We started with lamb sausage wrapped in grape leaves with hummus and chi chi beans. Then a fatoush salad. It as a pita with lettuce grilled peppers and a few other items. Chris had soup in addition to this, a puree of black bean. For the main dish we had the grilled NY strip steak with green beans and potato au gratin. We shared a bowl of pasta carbonara.

After diner we went to see the Gem production of World beat, which featured music from around the world.

Then it was time to change the clock ahead and go to bed.

Because of up load problems I will have to enter the blog this way and up date pictures at a later time. The band width here is just to low to upload decent pictures.
