Today was our third day on the ship and our second full day at sea. The seas were noticeably calmer this morning as I and many others no longer needed to hold on to railings as the ship pitched and rolled. In the dining room, faces were perkier and a little less green.
Linda, Stan, Bruce and I headed to the gym at 9 am. It was packed full of sweaty middle to elderly aged individuals trying to turn back the hands of time. We were still able to get in a fairly good workout although we took it relatively easy so we would be able to go to the gym tomorrow.

Sitting outside by the pool afterward, I could tell it was about 10 degrees warmer. People were in short sleeved shirts and some were going in the outside jacuzzis. I am looking forward to balmier weather when I can bring out my shorts and tank tops.

I went to my first art auction today. Linda and Stan left early and Bruce would have, but he was humoring me. I even bid on a painting and bought one. Of course it was one of the real bargains.
Linda, Bruce and I had coffee with some friends in the late afternoon and explored other parts of the ship. We found Dizzy’s Lounge named after Dizzy Gillespie, the famous jazz musician.
For dinner, I had escargot for an appetizer, crab cakes and a New York strip steak. It was delicious. Our waiters were fabulous.
After dinner we went to a late show with singing and dancing. I loved it but I think Stan fell asleep.
