Sleepy At Sea




We have to advance the clock by an hour every night these days. So we are very sleepy at sea. The seas have been rough from the hurricane down south, so we wear the sea sickness patches. The side-effect is drowsiness. The constant rocking and rolling during the night interrupts sleep. So we are even more sleepy!


Life on the ship is intense, really. There are many classes, pre-port lectures, kid activities to attend. It’s funny to be way out in the middle of the ocean and yet feel so busy. Up at 6 am to get time on the elliptical machine (feels like 5 am because we crossed another time zone). 8 pm special lecture on Spain. 9 pm social hour with the faculty and staff and Archbishop Tutu and Leah. Then set the clocks forward again tonight.
Spain on Saturday!

  2. I finally stopped to check in since your Tonozzi party entry. Keep the reports coming. I am living vicariously through your adventures. I SO want some tapas from Spain. Between your experiences and the blog, The Path Less Pedaled--the journal of a couple who have been biking across America for a year--I am having difficulty living in the present.

    Merne, I started open house showings for your office. I think we may have some interested parties.

    Ta ta,

    Tal
