Craig's List

Good morning from about 1000 nautical miles from San Juan on the way to Brazil. Air temp is 78 degrees F and sea depth is 4300 meters. Weather looks good to Salvador.

As we steam towards Salvador, we are learning Portuguese and, in Global Studies, exploring Amazonian jungle medicine and shamans. Beautiful weather with some larger swells since last night.

We had our involvement fair and the first alcohol night on the ship. Both were exceptionally well attended. It is interesting to see faculty, staff, and students sharing conversation over a beverage sans the 21 year old drinking age restriction. Students are being very responsible in their behavior at the bar and elsewhere. It is good to raise the expectations and students will respond accordingly.

Thanks for involving us in your voyage, though it's a little hard from chilly Wiesbaden to read about tropical cruises! Hope you continue to have a fun and safe trip.

It has been great reading of your travels. Perhaps one day we will folow in your steps.
