Cruise, Day 5: At Sea

Between Copenhagen, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweden, we’ve been in the Baltic Sea, resting for the next 5 days of go-go-go.

Resting, my eye! Our days at sea have been every bit as busy as our excursions into the city, flitting from one scheduled event to the next.

Last night we attended a spectacular entertainment featuring Samantha Jay, a Welch lady who now lives in England. Talk about a talented musician! Oh my. For an hour she took our breath away as she segued from the oboe to the alto sax to the violin, back-n-forth. Worth a concert anywhere, if you ever hear of her.

Today we attended a seminar on Baltic Amber (with tips on how to spot a fake), followed by bingo, of course. After lunch we heard about Russia's history from an Armenian man, now from the U.S., who used to be an ambassador. Very informative (since we'll be in St. Petersburg in a couple more days).

This afternoon I tried to blogroll, but after 15 minutes of getting nowhere fast (slow boat to China!), and at $.33/minute, I gave up. I guess I’ll have to wait to visit y’all once I get on land, unless I’m lucky on another day. Thanks for understanding. In the meantime, I am able to read your comments and greatly appreciate all of you who are visiting and leaving comments. I feel greatly loved and “followed” :) And when I can't be connected, I'm PhotoShopping my photos, getting them ready for their albums.

The next 5 days we'll be in one port after the other, filling up each day with excursions to see everything we can see in the time allotted. Tomorrow is Stockholm....
