We are still on our course to Los Angeles, now on our fifth day at sea since leaving Papeete in Tahiti. It was a nice and sunny day when we woke up this morning, and was mostly sunny and warm for the entire day.
Again, we slept in before going to the buffet for our breakfast.
After breakfast, we once again applied our sunscreen to spend the day outside. However, today, we sat on our balcony in the sunshine for most of the morning while we read, taking advantage of the sun being on our side of the ship. It was just a little more protected from the wind than out on the upper decks.
At about 1:00 PM, we headed up to the pool deck for some lunch, the sun having passed overhead, and no longer shining on our balcony. Today we had cheeseburgers and pizza for lunch, going to the specialty grills out by the pool for our lunch instead of the buffet. The we headed over to sit out in the sun and read, taking advantage of the really nice warm day. We realize that as we approach the more northern latitudes, the weather will begin to get cooler, and we most likely will not be able to spend much time outdoors.
Dinner In The Sante Fe Dining Room
As the sun faded it was back to the room to get ready for dinner. There were a couple of good things on the dining room menu tonight, so we headed to the Sante Fe Dining Room again for our dinner, and once again, were able to get a table with Georgina. The main course included grilled scallops, which we both chose.
We took one of our bottles of wine with us for dinner, paying the corkage fee for them to serve it to us, which is fine. We knew it was a good bottle of wine, better wine for the price than we could get from them, even with the corkage fee included. Plus, we needed to whittle down our “stock” of wine since we are running out of days remaining on the cruise to consume it.
There was not a lot of entertainment going on tonight, so after walking around a little, we went back to the room and found a good movie on the TV to watch.
