                                     Day 2, Sea Day, Nov.27,2013

Eric and Priscilla were up much earlier than us this morning. We were supposed to set our clocks ahead one hour last night and \I guess I set my watch back instead. Oh well we didn't miss breakfast in the dining room. We met Eric on our way and they were all finished and Priscilla had gone to a church service .

After breakfast Bob and I went up to the Crows Nest to the Cruise Critic Meet and Greet. A group of ladies and one gentleman was there having a great time knitting. crocheting and I believe some one was stitching a wall hanging or something like that. Eric arrived but he wasn't feeling so great so both he and Bob left.

We had a great M&G, and Holland America provided cookies, Mmmm yummy, and tea and coffee as well as providing the space for us to use as our own for an hour. There were approximately 46 CC members who attended. A Thank You to our organizers who took the time as well as the cost of name tags and all the coordination to arrange.

Met up with Bob and we went to the Lido for our lunch and after we separated, he went to a lecture and I attended a work shop on Editing photos like a pro. Haven't mastered that yet but will work on it. It was warm there and as I was getting sleepy I came back to our room for a rest and write in my journal. Bob arrived soon after and he sort of "napped". Then it was time to get cleaned up for Dinner which was smart casual.

We finally met our dinner companions tonight. They are 2 couples from Seattle, Washington.  Had a nice dinner, again great food, great new and old friends.

Went to the Showroom at Sea to see Katia & Ilia. They are a dance team who have won many awards. She started dancing when she was 5 and he started at 6. It was a very energetic show.

After the show, Eric went back to his room as he had a headache, and Bob, Priscilla and I went up to the Crows Nest to listen to the Piano player. He played and sang a quite a few of Neil Diamond songs, which I really like. Bob deserted us after we got a drink each; two for one, so we had to have one. At 10:00pm we left just as the piano player was taking a break.

Tomorrow is America's Thanksgiving Day and also I believe a Happy Hanukah to all our Jewish friends as well. It is also a Formal night so we will have to spit and shine tomorrow night.
