Day at Sea (sub II)

Hey all,

In an effort to get caught up (I’m a few days behind on the blogging), today’s post is a bullet list of activities with commentary where I have comments.  Our second day at sea did include a “don’t forget to move your clocks back” notification, which of course, we forgot to do.

• ·         Morning Stretch (which was a bit of a scramble, since 6:30 is really very early, if you’re expecting to get up for 7:30)
• ·         Breakfast
• ·         Trivia with Mike and Ivy (we also teamed up with another couple here – I don’t recall either of their names, but I’ve seen them around a fair bit).  We won!  This time our life changing prize was a Celebrity Cruises pen!  Woo!  Questions included:

o   What was a Puffing Billy?

o   What is feldspar?

o   What is the most common fast food restaurant in the world?

• ·         A nap.  Time changes are brutal.  Or something. 
• ·         Reading/hot tub/reading/dozing/reading (that may or may not have been the correct order of operations)
• ·         Progressive trivia – Troy and I got 12/15.  Our friends from Massachusetts got 13/15, but only rubbed it in a little.  Things we got wrong:

o   What is the only mammal born with horns?

o   What band does Brian Jones play for?

o   What country comes first alphabetically?

• ·         Dinner (we did not make new friends at the dinner table, but the food was delicious)
• ·         Battle of the Sexes!   (Troy and I were unsure as to whether we were going to actually go.  We showed up and stood there trying to decide whether we would stay, and the announcers roped us in.  It was super cute though.  Men won the trivia and ladies won the challenge.  I did pretty well with the female trivia, but wouldn’t have done all that well without a solid team on the male team).

Tomorrow is Estonia!  Woot!

1^st trivia answers:  A Puffing Billy was a steam engine in a train.  Feldspar is a mineral.  The most common fast food restaurant is actually not McDonald’s.  It is Subway.  And that fact blows my mind.

2^nd trivia answers: Giraffes.  We said rhinos.  Brian Jones plays for The Rolling Stones.  Afghanistan comes before Albania.  Now we know.
