Friday we spent time exploring the ship and food and entertainment venues. I signed up for the internet to BLOG, but it is a dollar a minute. I am finding it impossible to check my e-mail because it keeps kicking me off the site. I probably won’t be able check e-mail until I reach the UK. In case of emergency – family members can reach me at my AOL e-mail. We went to a lecture on Archaeoastronomy with Charles Barklay about cultural beliefs and their relations with astronomy. Our second lecture was an amazing lecture about the history of luxury liners including the Titanic by maritime historian and author John Maxtone-Graham. During the lecture Ed leaned over to me and stated he had a copy of this book (“The Only way to Cross”) at home. (Surprise!) It was clear Ed hadn’t read the pre-cruise literature about who was going to be our guest lecturers.
We went to a show with a tribute to “Sting” music and a performance by famous soprano
Isobel Cooper – AKA “Izzy”. We enjoyed talking to her after the performance – Notice Ed’s favorite picture of the trip so far! He claims his breakfast buddies will hold him in high esteem when they see this! The evening ended with the “Black and White Ball” in the Queen’s ballroom.
