On the Boat

 The sea here is so incredibly blue.  Dark. Rich. Today it was choppy and Mom was a bit seasick.  So not so fun.  I was fine.  I do pretty good in the bad ocean.    Lots of people on this boat.  Lot of people who are older.  Folks who are drinking way too much.  People who have no business wearing 2 piece bathing suits wearing them and laying out in the sun.  Funny.  Older people.  Younger folks.  A few families.  Not too many kids.  Pretty quiet.  Interesting entertainment.  Interesting people.  Met several folks from Oregon.  A guy this morning from Idaho.  So near at home.  Meeting in the Caribbean.  Good Food.  Almost all you can eat at almost any time.  And very good.  A variety of options.  Different cultures food.  Today there was Indian curry.  Good.  And of course seafood.  Seafood is always amazing of course.  Dad always  said that if we are within 400 miles of the ocean always is a good chance of having good seafood.  As we are on the ocean I guess we are close enough.  Salmon omelets for breakfast.  Shrimp for dinner.  I am a lover of seafood.  So is my family and so we are all very much enjoying that!  We have been having fun meeting some of our fellow travelers.  Our son is enjoying the fun activities on the kids program.  As we did school ahead all we have to do is math.  This is making his vacation wonderful.  It has been fun.  We have been playing some games and reading some interesting books.  Played croquet on the rocking deck number 19.  Made for some new creative rules as our “lawn” was rocking.  We have walked the deck and enjoyed the sun.  It was supposed to be 7 degrees at home and so wearing a tank top and sandals sounds and feels amazing! Our room is small and not too interesting.   We are enjoying the outside and the decks and all.  It is warm and so being outside has been so fun.  Working on my tan.  Haven’t gotten burned yet.  A bit pink.
