2017 - Transatlantic Cruise - Day 10


Day 10 – December 12, 2017 – Crossing the Atlantic

Dawn over the Atlantic Ocean
Sailing, sailing, over the deep blue seas!  There’s another beautiful sunrise, and the ship continues to gently rock its way across the Atlantic.  I must say the seas did get a bit rougher in the afternoon and early evening, but very tolerable. We again take advantage of a lazy morning of prayers, reading, sorting some laundry and some Internet surfing.  We met Skip and Cheryl at the baristas where we enjoyed our frappuccinos!  And we met up with the others at the Terrace Café for a simple, but delicious lunch. 


We decided to go down for this afternoon’s movie … The Mountain Between Us. I thought it was going to be better, but it was mostly formulaic Hollywood drama. Not bad overall except for the pap ending.  After that I needed a nap, but Bob joined the group for Trivia … the team’s not doing as well as we’d like … and Happy Hour.  And we had a superb dinner at the specialty Italian restaurant, Toscana … the menu was so long and detailed, it took forever to decide what to have.  Everyone raved about their choices.  My main course was lobster (hey .. can’t afford it at home so I might as well eat as much as I can since it’s all paid for, right??!!) served with spaghetti and whole tomato sauce. It was elegantly presented across a whole lobster shell and tasted wonderful.  Then there’s desert. Since I couldn’t decide, I had the sampling of five of them … good choice!!   It’s another 25-hour day … life is good!
