South America Cruise Dec 2014 Day 5 Off The Mexican Coast

In The Pool
     With the time change last night Judy did not make it to her abs class this morning. Instead we walked the deck for about 40 minutes. The weather was warm and sunny again . We decided to do the light breakfast today. With the program being light this morning, we decided to go for a swim and and spend a few hours by the pool. Lunch consisted of a piece of pizza and a beer on our balcony.
     We attended another enchantment lecture on forensics and History. Today's hour presentation was on the Mystery of the Romanovs. It traced the history of their last days and then detailed how they determined who was found in the first shallow grave. It detailed the findings in the second pit . It was quite a fascinating story. The theatre was nearly packet again.
     A very basic line dance followed (again). There was a workshop on Improv comedy by Doug Funk; the same comedian that had a show the other night. He went over some of the keys to improv. He had 5 people on stage but 2 of them never got it so the session was a bit of a drag.
     The weather deteriorated a bit in the afternoon. The wind picked up and we hit a patch of rough weather this afternoon. The ship was rocking more than it had since we left LA. The captain announced around noon that by 3 pm we would hit rough seas and by midnight we would be back in calm waters. I don't know how they did that but it worked out perfectly.
    The watched the tango dancers in the atrium, followed by a nice dinner. One couple did not show for dinner so we finished in a short period of time. We did take in the Rock and Roll party, something that we had never seen before because of the timing. All in all a generally relaxing day at sea. Tomorrow is the last of the continuous days at sea . Costa Rica follows that.
