at Sea
Today we enjoyed more very hot weather. I did laps around the promenade and Terri did the treadmill. There are three more stops but the talk amongst many passengers is packing, number of bags, exchanging contact info, exchanging excursion photos and the next cruise or stop in the endless tour of retirement. It is difficult to relate to the younger people who are on “sabbatical”. I think that was a result of the pandemic. Lots of “work from home” people lived a very lonely life and want to get out and enjoy it now. It’s difficult to “enjoy the journey” when you are working alone. Gone are the sarcastic comments at the water cooler or teachers lounge.
Today I took a tour of the galley. Very large. Very clean. Fascinating from dishwashing to preparation. It is hard to imagine that the ship goes through this much food.
The galley tour started in the dining room which is located at the back of the ship and goes all the way to mid-ship.
Fascinating tour.
Today we did a wine tasting instead of trivia up in the crow’s nest. Terri set up a dinner for everyone that was on our Shalati Train tour. Bill, Chris, Kathy, George, Marcus, John, Anita sat with us. Only Eve did not make it. We had some laughs and traded some photos. Oscar made sure we had pazcki’s for dessert.
Cards to finish the evening..…
