Professor Stooke mentioned that the perfect time to see Venus and Jupiter was shortly before sunrise. With the skies absolutely clear they appeared today as pinpoints of brilliance in a gradually lightening sky. My camera (or the operator) is not powerful enough to capture it, but it was exciting and beautiful. Brought back days of star gazing with mom – especially during those long lazy summer months.
The Walk for Wishes occurred on the top deck. We bought the shirts; I did the walk, 6 rounds on the track, Deck 12 – perfect day for it. I started early since we were meeting the Mary’s at noon. Good thing I got in 4 of the 6 rounds before the rest started. It slowed from a walk to a crawl.
It was the final FORMAL DAY! I was able to wear one of those dresses. Terry was gorgeous in black. So was I. Lobster was on the menu; Terry ate two. There is no doubt it is way too easy to consume food on the ship.
The evening show was a singer with way too much energy, but he did get a crowd full of mostly old people going. Then we went to some silly show called Quest where the behavior of normally sane people was questionable; men running around without pants and/or dressed as women. The audience was devided into 5 different teams to perform challenges handed out by the cruise director. Thankfully they had no need for our services.
When I get a chance I'll upload the video. I'm sure the employers of these people would enjoy knowing what they are doing on vacation.
Then we FINALLY made it to the Solarium to swim in a salt water pool and enjoy the hot tub.
A last look at the stars proved to me that they are still there. We can't see them at home because of all the city lights. Wonderfully peaceful star gazing while sitting on the balcony as our ship churned slowly towards Boston.
It will be good to home, but this is trully the easier softer way to see the world.
