Dinner tonight was in a smallish room on the port side of this medium sized cruise ship,next to Desmond Tutu and his family. Aunt Bette said hello, and welcome. He waved back. It is enough already, but tomorrow he will speak if we can get seats in the too small Union room. But he will be around for a week, so there will be more times for real interactions...
In the meantime, we've been doing the life boat drill, and figuring out where everything is, and how to live in a very small space - us two old women who are used to living alone. The motion of the ship should be enough to put us both to sleep, but we do have ear plugs if either of our snoring becomes too unbearable.
Loading a ship like this, takes time and we have basically spent the whole day, waiting to board a bus, and then boarding the ship so it has not been very exciting - except for dinner - which was unforgettable.
(I'm still learning the best way, and what is the best machine on which to do the blog. - Yesterday's effort was on my new Samnsung Galaxy, but it is sooo sensitive, and I am so new to it, that I'm really liking the old time computer keyboard in the computer lab tonight!I'll try and figure out how to input photos tomorrow, while we're at sea, heading down the Baja coast.)
