Hi All,
Yesterday, day 1 at sea. It was in the 60's outside and of course windy. The seas were fairly calm. Around lunchtime, there were pods of dolphins jumping around the ship for about 20 minutes.
Last night was the "Captain's welcome coctail party" Never got to it. We had Friday night services. It was surprising to see so many people show up. The Rabbi and his wife are from St.. Louis and are very nice. His name is Bernard Lipkin. I googled him before I saw him and found he is quite an interesting man. The service was about 45 min. He mentioned Sherman, since the 19th is his Yahrzeit. It was the fourth of Shevat, 5769.
I ate dinner with the Rabbi and his wife and another couple from Antiquia(sp) who are from London and live on a private Island 10 minutes off the main island by boat. Paul McCartney, was just there and his daughter played with their great grandchild who was visiting. very nice people. They keep kosher and have lived there when not traveling for 20 years.
Saw a show, the cast had put on previous, but it was enjoyable. I keep bumping into people from the past. The solo travelers are mostly old and some very strange. The gentlemen hosts are interesting. One lady, the night before, told us she didn't understand how people could like Shreck, because they were all so UGLY. Let me tell you, you should have seen her...........
I am going to try a bridge lesson. If it is taxing on my mind, I will nix it. Oh, by the way, I also met the Priest, Father Kelly.
Maybe, I will e-mail later. I still haven't touched the pictures. I have to work myself up to that.
All, have a good rest this weekend.
As always, the lone traveler
