Just a quick note letting you know that we are enroute to Dominica and will arrive on Sunday. The seas were a little rough last night so a few were a little green around the gills. This afternoon the seas died down and everyone seem in better shape. We have met some nice young adults (kids) who seem very interested in us and what we are doing here.
The internet has been very slow when we can get on so no pics to load now. However you can go to semesteratsea.org and click on read current voyage blog.
Classes start tomorrow!!!
Ciao
Let me tell you about a typical day at sea: Classes are given on all at-sea days, A days and B days . I have classes only on A days, so B days are for "whatever". The Life Long Learners meet every day at 4:30 to discuss any issues and questions we have about the voyage, and to discuss upcoming ports. We have named ourselves the Sea Salts!! Every evening there is an Explorers Topic, where anything from architecture to socio-economic/political issues of upcoming ports are discussed. We also have small discussion groups (12 people) where we discuss the book 'Three Cups of Tea' and how it relates to our voyage and the people places we are visiting. In between we have meals, go to the gym, read, etc. The days are full!!
