128 Days Around the World

January 8, 2020

Roseau, Dominica

I had a really good night’s sleep – I cheated and took an Ambien. Since I had no excursion today, I slept until about 9:30.

My plan was to just walk around the town which is what I did. Nothing real exciting in town and my only purchase was a fridge magnet. I was back on the ship by 11.

When I returned to the ship, I changed into my bathing suit and went to lunch in the Lido and then out to the Sea View pool to spend the afternoon. I was able to get my half mile swim in even though a number of people came and went from the pool.

Sail-away and trivia were both set for 4:30. Marilyn was my only teammate who showed up but she had to leave early for Mass. I joined with people from other teams (who also had partners that weren’t there). We did horribly with only 7 out of 17. The winning team had 14.5.

1.The Volga River flows into which sea?

2.What is the name for a group of standing giraffes?

3.Which group of islands lie about 300 miles southwest of India?

4.What is opposite of claustrophobia?

5.Which island in the English Channel was known as Sarnia to the Romans?

6.Can giraffes swim?

After trivia I went out on the deck to watch our scenic sail around Dominica. I watched the sun set before checking out the sail-away party which had already broken up. We have less than 100 miles to go to St. Lucia tomorrow.

I moved to my new table with Mike and Kathy tonight. Another lady, named Lenore, had also joined the table. She has a roommate who is also supposed to be at the table but Lenore says she seldom goes to dinner.

We did not leave the dining room until 9:45 so I passed on the show which was a man who plays different musical instruments (I think I have seen him before).
