Beautiful sunny day provided a great background for this morning photo op. The morning started out foggy and then eventually cleared up. We floated off the front of it for about 2 hours. The crew said the blues of the glacier appear a little bit bluer when it is cloudy. Even with the sun the glacier was spectacular. Lots of little pieces of ice were floating about. They are called growlers because of the noise they make scrapping the side of the ship as we cruise past.
The rest of the day was a little bit of rough sailing while we were not in the fiords - calm when we were. So rough I couldn't read or play computer games - didn't bother Paula. Side story- I left my iPad in the ships library - for the 10 minutes it took me to retrieve it - I figured I was more upset about having to start all over on level 1 on Candy Crush than paying for a new iPad. I may have a problem. After the glacier, we went to a boring lecture, high tea, nice dinner, and a broadway show tunes show. I headed to the cabin and Paula went up stairs to a name that Broadway show tune game. Of Course she won! And she was the only one on her team. Starting to get rough again. Room is very noisy with the kitchen right above our heads. There are lots of banging pots and pans when they are cleaning up at 12:00 midnight and getting breakfast ready at 6:00 am. SUPPOSEDLY there is a ball bearing or screw rolling around in Paula's wall when there are rough seas. She spent about 10 minutes banging on the wall to see if she could alter normal physics. I gave her some ear plugs. She needs to " get over it " which is another story Paula will tell. Ok I will tell .... Paula was being Paula - we were sitting at the dinning table with these 2 hilarious Irish couples. The discussion was about iBooks versus paper books. One Irish man was arguing in favor or paper. Paula told the guy that he was just going to have to "man up and get over it". He was a little shocked that that came out of the mouth of a sweet southern lady. Paula also used the same line when we were at dinner tonight with a Canadian and Reno couple and discussing handwritten notes and the fact that schools were not teaching cursive anymore. The ladies were very offended that they had received thank you notes that were printed. Is Paula getting pushier in her old age?
