Even with the time change last night we were up early enough to get to the dining room for breakfast. If was not very busy and we were able to try the line dancing at 9 this morning. As to be expected the dances are simple but the instructors know little about the steps and certainly have no idea about the count which is the way we learn a dance. Once the music is on we can fill in he “gaps” and just enjoy the movement. So many people had trouble with the dance that he had to do it as a one wall dance. It is country western night tonight but we will be having dinner at the same time.
We did attend the port lecture on Malaga although we have a full day tour to Granada so we will not have time for anything else. We did do our puzzles during the talk on D Gama who opened up the sea routes to the east but the lecture turned into 45 minutes of the different types of curry. The speaker should be put on a boat and set adrift!
We were back at the pizza restaurant after we did our laps of the “running” (read walking) track. It is another beautiful day with temperatures in the mid 70”s and barely a movement of the ship. In fact it has been pretty calm since we left. We sat for tea and watched the egg drop contest. Everybody got some type of prize which was good PR. Some of the devices were very interesting and it is amazing that an egg survives the 2 story fall.
Judy watch a movie before we were back to the theatre listen to the cosmos talk. This one was on the moon. The photos are great and the lecturer has a very easy way of presenting the material. It was a very entertaining lecture although it was late in the afternoon and gave us little time to get ready for the Captain's Circle party. Our table mates delayed their dinner while we were there. The party ran pretty well as usual with a few drinks some music, the regular speeches, etc. It is one thing that has not “changed”. There are about 600 elite passengers onboard which means they had to have 3 or 4 of these receptions. The Commodore (captain) breezed in said the words took the photo and was gone in a few minutes. We did meet a very nice woman travelling by herself who we invited to go to dinner with us. We were one of the last to leave the dining room and by the time we got to the show, it was already well underway.
We did get a few minutes of internet as I noticed that the phone had downloaded a few messages but other than that nothing yet. Apparently we are still between satellites! SURE as Judy would say!
