at sea

Much to do in this floating hotel, inc people watching - many countries & languages - huge contingent of German tourists plus UK, Canada, Australia, etc. Dinner table companions English/Persian, Canadian, and from New Mexico for dinner; lunch varies - French, German, Australian, etc. Elderly repeat travelers fun to talk with. Well-known (to those who are cruise afficionados) William Miller entertaining lecturer about history of cruise ships. Been through the black&white formal night (met captain, drank champagne, maneuvered in crowded ballroom)but most enjoy the many spots to sit and read.

No reason to get unfit with the spa and fitness folks around. Anyone for walking up and down the staircases (10 decks) 4 times? Or pacing around the ship in the early morning (1 mile)?

Discovered a group of Rotarians so I will get make-ups afterall.
