Quite a bit of chop out there but we are in the North Atlantic. You could feel it and see if from the suite and at breakfast.
I got up to La Veranda just as it was opening and probably because of the choppy conditions, there were very few people up there. Today, I opted for chocolate chip pancakes and two eggs over medium – another good start to the morning.
My talk today is “Forensic Detectives: Identifying America’s Fallen Heroes”.
I asked how many vets we had in the crowd and
three hands went up. I have been talking
to one this whole cruise (he’s been in the military for 30 years). The talk went well and ended on time.
We followed
our post talk routine for the rest of the night – listening to Fabiano in the
Observation Lounge (a little more choppy up there than usual). We went to Sette Mari La Veranda for
dinner tonight and found seats away from the work station we always sit
at. I had their version of tomato soup
(probably the same as downstairs) and a nice salad from the salad bar – I do
like the focaccia appetizers dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar and the
chunks of parmesan cheese. There must
have been a pasta on the menu tonight (can’t recall) that got us up here. They do have some interesting deserts and
tonight the decaf coffee was flowing.
After dinner
we went to the Splendor Lounge to hear an abbreviated set from Rhyme and
Rhythm. At 9:00 PM, there is a Beatles
Thing in the Atrium featuring the Regent Singers and Dancers. The Atrium got filled up pretty quickly and
we could hear the music in the lounge so we stayed there. After a while, we decided to go to the room
and I tried to get a picture of the singers with limited success.
Relaxing in the room was a good idea.
