Last night's dinner with Maria/Bob, Priscilla/John was so enjoyable. We then went to Constellation to hear a very talented jazz quartet. Off then for the submarine races; a very private excursion.

Another GLORIOUS day today! Alan and I had a beautiful breakfast on La Veranda deck. Who could ask for a more wonderful place to start the day? We then walked off our breakfast under incredibly clear sunny skies, and smoothe seas.

Attending a lecture for some mental stimulation at 11:00AM. Cordon Bleu cooking demo. German buffet this afternoon. Crepes at tea time trivia. Hopefully, a win today. Dinner tonight with Fred/Pat, Sue/Tom in CR. Attending the brilliant Pearl Kaufman piano performance tonight. She's played piano for more film scores and TV shows than I could possibly list. Ms. Kaufman just left the computer room. We've spoken with her numerous times and she's such a lovely woman. I requested that she repeat the theme from "Exodus." She will.

I have a confession - I thought sea days would drive me insane, being the Energizer Bunny. Sea days have been so welcome and relaxing (yikes - I said the "dreaded R word!). We are loving it. Lots to do. The option of great friends to join us, or treasured alone time for just the two of us. Each day is a joy! This is such a special cruise. A great way to rejuvinate our bodies and souls!
