A total day of rest. Got up late and headed to Compass Rose for oatmeal and tea. Then headed up to the Observation Lounge for my early bird needlepoint gathering. This is a group of about 6 to 8 ladies that get together every sea day. They may get together on the port days but we are usually off the ship so I don't know if they do or not. I then attended Terry's lecture on South America and its progress.
Lunch in the Compass Rose where the service was a little slow. We ordered dessert and it took so long to get to us, we left just as they were bringing it. I decided it was the ships way of keeping me on my diet.
We got to do our exercises in the afternoon. While doing them while the ship is moving is a challenge. Lots of motion of the water so you end up swimming twice as hard. While we were in the water, a young boy jump in. Do not know where he came from but he was being watched from the side by a cabin stewardess. He was about 7 or 8 and could only doggie paddle. He seemed to be having fun but also working very hard to stay on top of the water. I was wondering if he got into trouble, do you think the gal would jump in after him or would it have been up to us? At any rate, he did okay and there was no problem in the end.
We cleaned up for dinner and headed to Mariners Lounge where we met up with Mickey and Richard for cocktails and dinner together. They are next door to us and on the entire circle. Nice people. He worked for Abbott and she Microsoft. Not married but together for 17 plus years. She still has her own condo on the lake front in Chicago. And then they have a place together. At least, I think that is right. Did not want to appear too noisy.
Back to the cabin to watch tv and bed. A good day.
