Relaxation Day

Sailed from Canada to Alaska today. Took another photography course today ... yes Steffi ... I go to school whenever I can! Jerry went to a lecture on how Seward got Alaska from the Russians ...sorry Karena ... Zayde Hanukah will make it up to you! And a belated happy Birthday to you while I am at it!
Then there was the lunch gala buffet ... it is the only buffet on the cruise and it was not to be believed ... the most beautful presentation of the fabulous food .... however, I planned it wrong and had finished a huge breakfast a couple of hours earlier so I couldn't eat more than shrimp and lobster ... I know how bad you must feel for me ... If I can figure out how to get photos onto the blog I will send some of the pics of the buffet ... no macaroni salad and jello here!
We read and snoozed out on deck ... it was quite windy but the crew brought us bankets (I ignored the fact that other people might have used them previously ...) as well as an Irish cofffee for Jerry. Watching the Canadian Rockies as we sailed by was spectacular; have never seen such natural beauty. The forestry appeared so dense that I would imagine that it is impossible to walk/hike there. I took some pictures through the glass as I was too lazy to go upstairs and risk being blown overboard. Then we went inside to read some more; downstairs for a cocktail and back up to shower and get ready for dinner which we are going to now...I am getting the 3 minute warning from Jerry. So tomorrow we are off to Sitka...probably will be more informative after we have done our sightseeing there as wll as our 2 hour ride in a semi submersible. That's all for now folks!
