Our eighteen days on board have flown by! We continue to experience great weather and relatively calm seas. As of this writing, we are steaming south with the shore of Brazil about 15 miles away. Salvador and Carnival awaits us tomorrow morning when we arrive at 0530. We have enjoyed the company of a wonderful interport lecturer, Dr. Javier Escudero, who is very passionate about his country, its' food, and people. Students are excited about the various field programs in Brazil and considerable attention has been given to safety and security especially when traveling during Carnival. We have done all we can to prepare so we are hopeful that everyone will be well during their adventures. We have experienced very little drama in day to day sea life. Perhaps our admonition for folk to "save the drama for your mama" has set the tone to be flexible and patient in working through stuff that inevitably occurs. Eric and Kelsey both have multiple big sisters and big brothers and we have adopted four students for our extended family. Quite an inclusive community and continues to grow closer with each day that passes.
Stay tuned for more post- Salvador

Can't wait to read about Carnival, even as it ends, I'm sure there will be some drama. Rosa
