We were joined at breakfast by Gail and Paul (Michigan to AZ) and with Gail it is easy...just sit back and listen...no pesky conversation to worry about....just listen - or not - just be there. As we bid our farewells until later, she had walked just a short distance and fell. That was becoming a common theme on the ship - people falling, some more injured than others. When you consider the number of "older" passengers - it could really be a problem...we had heard of a number of people who have ended up in sick bay - we discovered the lady from the first couple we met from Little Rock had taken a serious fall on Sunday night...we were concerned and hadn't as yet found out how she had fared.
We wandered up to the bow to see Hubbard Glacier and spent about two hours up there, seeing, snapping and filming the beauty. They set up a nice hospitality buffet of hot pea soup (delish!), and various beverages. It was quite chilly - not wintry cold, really, but I was happy indeed to have my earmuffs and extra layers on.

After all that fresh air, a nap was called for.
And then - wonder of wonders! - another meal. Well, not exactly a meal - a "Tea". This time we were seated with a couple who are Tea Party members. (How appropriate, Tea party with members of ....well you get it.)They were nice - but she put out "feelers" politically and Lar quite summarily shut her down. After that, small talk until tea was over. I was, quite frankly, a bit disappointed with Tea. Lots of salmon bits and pieces...yuk...but nothing that really tickled my fancy...and my fancy isn't really all that fancy.....but, tea was good - tho bagged.
As we had partaken of tea, we chose to go to the Lido deck buffet for our evening meal...eating (at least for me) more lightly.
In the evening we saw a comedy show and the comedian was truly funny. His Ozzie Osbourne was fall down on the floor funny. He did him (Ozzie) answering the door until my sides ached from laughing. Indeed, I have laughed again several times since just thinking about it.
We sat in one of the lounges reading and enjoying a glass of wine, watched a movie in our room, and we both slept well that night.
I had begun to have fun with our Steward, Jon....see the monkey he created with towels...and see I created him a heart and a crown.
