Relaxing day-Reading, Writing & Music & GREEN!!!

With 616 Nautical Miles left to get to French Polynesia we crossed the equator today (tomorrow will be the festivities)! Our morning as usual with exercise, breakfast (full breakfast today for the first time) and then a few hours in Baristas; reading, drinking specialty coffees and visiting with friends. Our first really sunny day with meals out by the pool while listening to live music.

Sing Out loud practice for our big Pub Night sing along event with 19 songs! Mele & Malia speak on unique ideas about French Polynesia (see 3 videos and handouts). James lecture today was on Nuclear Testing in the South Pacific (see separate posting). We were treated to another great concert by Irina Guskova and her 300 year old violin, "From Classical to Country" (see 2 videos and photos).

This was followed with a delicious Indian dinner and dessert (yes, couldn't help it, separate posting of lots of great food). The day was topped off when the lounge was packed with revelers ready for the St Paddy' Days Pub Party (see separate posting).Read more
