The two pictures taken of the mirror in our cabin are about 3 1/2 months apart. The first was taken the day we boarded January 4th, the other two earlier today.
As you may know I get some prints made of relatives and friends and tape them to the mirror. That way I am constantly 'in-touch' at least visually, to a great deal of you. Some I accidentally forgot. As we progressed through the weeks I added other pictures that I had 'developed' and bits and pieces of other memorabilia of our experiences. [This includes a couple of good bottles of beer by the way.]
As the trip winds down and we commence packing and saying farewells to friends and acquaintances, all of the the memorabilia and 'personalization' of our cabin will disappear, and it will soon revert to it's original sterile state for some other people to enjoy.
It is somehow easier for me to express myself in this electronic way as opposed to face to face or verbally on the phone while at home. I only have a few more days of 'talking' to you this way and I, for one, am going to miss it. In advance I want to state that just because I do not talk to you while at home it does not mean that you are not on my mind. During the past few months I have bared my soul to you and hopefully you understand a bit more about what makes me tick. I agree, this is not the most pressing issue in the world today, but if you have peeked into the Blog once in a while that means there is at least a wee bit if interest there.
A quiet day at sea today. The motion of the ocean has picked up again as we lose any protection from continents and land masses. The skies were cloudy and we are pitching and rolling a bit now. Just enough to ensure a good nights sleep.
Clocks back another hour tonight. I believe it is now only six hours ahead of Vancouver time.
