Thursday
Still at sea. Yesterday was sunny and cool. Today was rainy, windy, and cold. But the seas are smooth and we are trucking right along. We waved at Massachusetts today. We couldn’t see it as we’re too far out to sea. By the way, yesterday’s post was the 600th post of this travel blog (not counting our older original travel blog located here which had another 150 or so posts ending in 2013.) Who knew it (or we) would be around this long!
Quiet day. We had a nice lunch in the World Cafe at the grill station – very good cheeseburgers (mine with bacon) and French fries. French rosé wine to drink. We read a bit. And we attended a lecture on North American Predators focusing on wolves, coyotes, and black bears. Some pics including a bad selfie.
Dinner tonight was in Manfredi’s, the Italian specialty restaurant on board. I had pasta e fagioli again (best soup ever!) and seafood stew (with mussels, clams, fish, and a big langoustine). Elaine had mushroom risotto as her main. Wine was a French Cotes du Rhone. Gelato for dessert for me. Elaine’s dessert was better looking, whatever it was – I forget.
Pictures in our cabin including the tv showing the bridge cam.
A picture of our ship during its Antarctica cruise:
Tomorrow we land in Halifax. Back then.
Congrats on your 600th (or 750-ish) post.
I would have enjoyed the North American Predators lecture, seeing as we have all those predators here in NH. We sometimes find a black bear on our deck checking out the bird feeders. They should be coming out of hibernation very soon.
Food all sounds good. Nothing better than a bacon cheeseburger and fries.
Keep the pics coming so great – want to book!
