Yesterday, I just “bummed” around. Had Mass at 8:30am with about 16 people. Then breakfast and went to the room to watch TV. Saw “Billy Elliot”, which I had seen as a play on Broadway but hadn’t seen the movie. It was excellent – as I had felt about the musical.
Read and napped. There is nothing to see as we are out of the sight of land. We have been in the Persian Gulf and today are entering the Red Sea. Egypt is on the left and Saudi Arabia is on the right. Yesterday, after the Australian ship left us, an American ship, I think it said “The Stennis” passed us. I feel very safe! tomorrow, around 6am we will enter the Suez Canal and I will sit up on the deck and watch it I just came from a talk on it and it was very interesting. I think the speaker will also do a commentary from the bridge tomorrow.
Last night, the movie was “War Horse”, which I had been wanting to see. It is beautiful but the scenes of World War I are so terrible. I actualy dreamt about it. Tonight’s film is “Sherlock Holmes”, which I also haven’t seen. So with the movies and my books, I should return rested and caught up on both.
Mass tomorrow will be around 5pm but a lot of people will go off on tours so I don’t expect many. I’m not getting off and the big tour is to the pymradis and i saw them a couple of years ago. Am I getting “blazee”!!! More later.
Did you happen to see the app (I saw it on Facebook) with the 100 “must see” places? Most people can check off 9. I thought of you since I’ve been to 51. You may have been to 99!
I’ve been reading about your cruise, and all the places you been too.
You said, you are going to go through the Suez Canal tomorrow, how
exciting.
I will be leaving next tuesday on a cruise to the Panama Canal. I hope
it will be as exciting as seeing the Suez.
May God bless and keep you safe,
Gloria
