Crossing day 2

We wound up with a very full sea day on the second day of our Atlantic crossing. We started off with math (Devin) and English (Thomas) classes and then went to the cooking demonstration in the Insignia Lounge. This consisted of executive chef Farid and GM Ludmila preparing a couple of dishes. There was an ongoing Q&A, during which we learned a bit about the operation of the galleys on board, including the fact that there are 67(!) chefs working the various kitchens.

We had additional school work to get through after the demo. After lunch the boys and I did a bit of scavenging for our boat construction project. Thomas and I attended a talk on the greatest inventions of the past 100 years. This was just OK. We did some exercising in our room, then turned the boys loose as Liz and I went to get on the treadmills in the gym. After the gym Liz did a bit of reorganizing of the rooms.

After dinner we took some laps around the interior of the ship as the wind was blowing hard enough to make laps on the track pretty uncomfortable.Read more
