Sea Day 83…

The time changes are wrecking us. It was 11:30 before we woke up. Managed to eat late lunch. There wasn’t a lot of room…but a couple waved us over to share their table. There are so many interesting people on this cruise. After the couple we sat with left, we did the same thing and waved another couple over and spoke with them for a while.

Again we did slightly better in trivia with Michael Jackson songs. After that we watched the piano player from the ship’s band, Hikaru. She really gets into playing…like almost head banging hopping into it. She did a lot of classical and theatrical songs and at the end she played part of my favorite Hisaishi Joe songs called “Summer.” I’ve never heard it played live before. She talked with people afterwards. Mom forced me to speak Japanese. The lady looked thrilled that someone else spoke Japanese.

We wanted to see her again later in the day but the ship started to rock…so I repacked some things. I’m not as good as Greg when it comes to suitcase Tetris but I’m pretty happy with it.

In bed earlier tonight in hopes we get to go to Kodiak tomorrow.Les mer
