Thursday, October 1
This was the day that we looked forward to stopping in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
However the weather changed our plans.
The rain was fairly heavy in the early morning.
It was about this time (7:30 AM) we learned that the seas were too rough and the winds too strong to pull into Halifax.
Even though we didn’t have any excursions planned (we had been to Halifax before), it was a bit disappointing.
This is the day we were reminded by Ryan: “Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.”
I went up to the spa to schedule a pedicure – figuring it would be a busy day there. It was. They said the phone was getting busy.
She asked if I could stay and get my pedicure right away.
Love hot rocks on my feet and legs.
My lunch
After lunch Cerwin and I walked a mile on treadmills on Deck 11.
It’s the first time I ever did that while watching the ocean.
When we went to the scheduled 4:00 PM program, we learned that we had missed the announcement that they had added and extra concert because we could not go to Halifax.
I was disappointed to have missed it, but we did have a nice relaxing morning and afternoon.
Some of you already saw this photo of these five singing Old McDonalds Disabled Farm. This is when the Terrified Squirrel saw a dog! 🙂
The program we missed included singing as well as life and road stores. The evening was a fun mixture of impromptu and planned songs.
We were in The El Morocco for this concert.
This room had just enough seats for our group of 430.
It was delightful to hear a mix of most of the groups and requests from the audience.
The man running the “sound board” was sitting right next to me during this concert.
Some of the children even got involved.
Jeffrey (the dummy) declared his love for Dorcus Stutzman.
Can you tell that Jeffrey is telling a story about Nelson? 🙂
At suppertime our waiter staff did another song and dance routine.
Dwayne & Karen Sensenig joined in the fun.
Cerwin’s dessert
My dessert
Cerwin went to hear the Sharon Bethel Quartet in the Cool Lounge. I went to our room where a dinosaur greeted me.
I am a morning person and love to get to bed early as often as possible.
It was good to go to sleep to the swaying of the ship in the ocean.
This sounds like the kind of cruise John and I would enjoy! It sounds like a lot of fun as well as inspiration. 🙂
That is what we really liked about it – fun and inspirational.
I’m sorry you missed the day in Halifax, but it looks as if you had a good, relaxing day anyway!
We were sorry about that too, but having to spend an extra day on a cruise ship is no punishment. 🙂
I would have been disappointed too to miss Halifax ~ we didn’t visit the city when we were in Nova Scotia ~
