Time to catch our breath today and we enjoyed one of our last three sea days before the cruise ends. Not a lot to report really - I did go to a morning lecture " Virginia:Riot and Revolution" which was very interesting. We now have a new lecturer from the Smithsonian on board, Dr Bruce Chadwick. He spoke about the Revolution, Norfolk, Jamestown, Williamsburg and the importance of these cities in the early days.
Since I was very comfortable in the theatre I decided to stay for the next talk on Tanzanite - have heard it before but on a different ship and standing in a confined area! It turns out that Tanzanite is now the official birthstone for December.
After lunch three of us played mahjong - Aus/NZ style!!!! Terri (Aus) is still learning really, and Cynthia from NZ has a different slant on the game so between playing US, OZ and NZ rules we may all need to be retrained when we get home.
Dinner in Prime Restaurant was nice and we shared with a couple from Hervey Bay, QLD.
