One thing Robbi always loves on the Holland America ships is the carpet in the elevators that change daily to remind one of what day of the week it is.  So today is MONDAY!!

We are back sailing towards our first port of call in the Azores after departing Bermuda after the transfer of the patient who needed emergency care.  The Captain is continuing his accelerated speed to make up for the diversion to Bermuda and should arrive on time in Horta.

Robbi continues to Mah-Jongg her way across the Atlantic, playing mornings and afternoons.  How do you spell A-D-D-I-C-I-T-I-O-N???   She is also making many friends as her outgoing personality has kicked into gear.  By the end of these 49 days she’ll know everyone on board!!  John was driven instead today a bit more than usual, due to windy and cooler temps, but still managed a fair amount of time on deck reading and working crosswords.  Just so relaxing!

We went to an art auction and we’re overwhelmed to say the least.  We are learning a lot and have seen some interesting works that we might like to have.

So as we retire for this evening we’ll share the sunset on Port side looking Aft and our latest “Towel” animal – Mr. Peacock
