Sailing to Mexico

Today was our first full day at sea. Things that happened:

I woke up at 6am since I am still pretty much on East Coast time. The upside to that is I made it to a yoga class. It was pretty funny to try to do some of the balance poses with the ship moving, but there was also a point during the meditation at the end when I felt like I was flying. I only had tea before yoga, I promise. Yoga at sea was a bucket list item for me, but one I hope to I get to check off a couple of times.

Since we are on the reunion voyage, there is a children's program. Jr went to an art class where they made Day of the Dead decorations. He met some children who will also be sailing with us on the spring voyage, and has hung out with them for pretty much the rest of the day. They got a special children's tour of the bridge! I'm jealous he got to see where they control the ship from before I did! There are a few more activities on Sunday, too.

Sr went to two lectures while Jr was doing children's program things. He liked the lecture on travel writing by Prof. Kluge, a former SAS professor, and also a session by some SAS alumni who are now film makers.

Things in the library went a little slower today, in part because we had no internet for several hours in the middle of the day, and in part because Mary had to teach me some things that I do not do in the Health Sciences Library back home. We got all of the 135 videos the faculty have requested into the catalog and onto the shelves, and shelved several boxes of other books bought for the collection. There are just two boxes left, plus some other setup. We got enough done today, though, to spend some time in port tomorrow. Sr and Jr are taking a surfing lesson, which was my Christmas present to them.
