It was a rocky crossing of the southern Caribbean yesterday. David was feeling a little queazy and they had posted the seasick bags at all the elevators. Fortunately, last night at 9pm, as the captain promised, we became protected by Haiti and the seas calmed dramatically. Thank you Haiti. As we sat having dinner at La Cucina, all seemed to becoming right with the world. And the bread was good too. I haven’t mentioned this, I don’t think, but the bread has been pretty not so great on this cruise. Anyone who knows me well knows that next to potatoes, bread is my favorite food, so, that is pretty distressing. I think that they must freeze the bread and then defrost it in a microwave of some sort, because it is just a bit chewy and tough.
Anyway, enough about bread and rocking and rolling. It has been a few days. I really enjoyed the crossing through the Panama Canal. David kept on looking at me perplexed at my fascination with the locks. He finally said, why is this one different from the last one? Well, it wasn’t really, it is just the process. I’m a nerd that way. To be honest, a nerd in a number of ways, and proud of it. I took lots of pictures. We also had breakfast in the cabin so we wouldn’t miss a moment of the canal. I think David might have preferred watching paint dry.
Then, overnight to Cartagena, Columbia. We went on shore and after dodging the birds and souvenir hawks, we shared a cab with the guys from Las Vegas and took a three hour tour of town. We drove by the fort and then through old town, and finally drove along the beaches in the new part of town. My car mates kept mentioning how it all reminded them of Puerto Rico, and I mentioned that they did have the same designer, some friend of Queen Isabella. It is funny, but it also reminded me a bit of Malaysia, but, when you live in a climate like this, there are certain design principles that come into play – balconies, open courtyards, lots of shade, etc. It was a nice tour and just what we needed.

And now, we are are up to date. I have been reading Tina Fey’s book Bossypants, which has an appropriate chapter on her honeymoon cruise, which has some finny insights. Generally, I am finding the book a little underwhelming. Funny moments, but I almost feel like I could have written it. She reminds me of every Jody, Diane, Wendy and Liz I knew living through my 20’s and 30’s. Granted, a lot more successful, and married, but very similar struggles.
Tomorrow Key West and then Miami and then, The Crossing.
After writing the above, I went to Yoga, and feel much more centered. The sky is clear and blue, as is the water and we are looking forward to a lovely day at sea and by the pool.
There is nothing worse than mediocre bread! But then think of all the calories you’ll save!
Did you have Bagels with your locks during you morning transit of the canal?
102 degrees at home yesterday and all is well!
