October 30, 2008 – At Sea

It was another bright sunny day with comfortable temperatures. Our friend Cheryl Sprague who is a pianist had met the astronomer’s wife Elizabeth who is also a pianist and for fun & exercise they have been practicing a Schubert duo (both playing on the same piano) and this morning at 9:30 they put on a recital in Galileo Lounge for about 15 of us. The Captain and F&B mgr showed up as well and we enjoyed ½ hour of beautiful music, even though they called it “a work in progress.”

The day was typical for a sea day with lectures & games and the evening was formal dress with the Captain’s farewell cocktail party and “Krew Kapers” where talented crew members perform. Eight of us were invited to Paul Reynold’s (Cruise Director) table with Paul’s friend David. We were again in the Portofino restaurant with the Indian menu. The table got a bit lively with the gals putting napkins on their head like mid east women and sticking spoons on their noses. Following dinner we went to the “Ballroom Bravo” show and then to bed.
The clocks were moved forward ½ hour and tomorrow we leave the ship at 7:00am for our overnight visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra.
