2017 - Transatlantic Cruise - Day 8


Day 8 – December 10, 2017 – Crossing the Atlantic

This morning's sunrise seen from our veranda

So after two weeks of a very busy, but exciting, schedule, we slept in late and had a chance to relax and pray this morning.  We are sailing west and from our veranda the only thing we see are waves and waves of blue water. The temperature is very nice, in the low 70s and the sun is shining … a most perfect place to pray the rosary this morning!  

The dessert table at brunch this a.m.
We finally meandered into the Grand Dining Room for their wonderfully delicious brunch. Every station … breads, meats, desserts, etc. … are so invitingly arranged. The Eggs Benedict was outstanding … and, as you may expect, we ate too much!







This afternoon I read and read … so now I’m totally into this book that I don’t even want to put it down!  Well, except for Happy Hour, where we had a great visit with Skip and Cheryl.  This evening the group has reservations at the Polo Grill, an American style steak house, one of four specialty restaurants on our ship … more scrumptious food … crab cake appetizer, New England clam chowder, perfectly prepared filet mignon (Okay, I’m stuffed) and a brownie with Tahitian vanilla ice cream.  Did I mention that I love sailing???!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the ship's atrium
