At Sea

            Tuesday, 30 Jan 2018 – In most ways, this was a typical at-sea day, which we spent sleeping more and eating whenever possible.  We swam for our usual half hour.  In the café it was “African night.”  No, Gina, we didn’t sit on the floor and eat with our hands as we did in the Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle!  We had more “normal” food, such as chicken wings, barbecued ribs, fish, and veggies.  For dessert, one option was baklava – and we both ate some, along with other choices.  (Jesse had 5 desserts!)  While eating, we sat with Nicole and Ragene of Ontario, Canada.  Nicole retired from the Canadian army after 34 years of service.
