Alaska -- Day Eight -- At Sea

Today is a day at sea. The ship has a schedule of activities -- ranging from silly to interesting. We got up slow, enjoyed the breakfast buffet and then went for a hike around the deck. Four times around equals one mile. The weather was perfect.

In the afternoon we went to a lecture on volcanoes and glaciers. It was very interesting and I now have a better understanding of the geography around me.

Tonight was a formal night for dinner. I brought a dress and Bryan brought a suit. We were afraid we would be overdressed but there were many men in tuxes.

After dinner we went to the theatre for a show of Broadway love songs. Yes. It was silly. But we met the captain and his officers. The sun set at 10:20 tonight -- the earliest since we have been in Alaska so the first one I have witnessed. It was exquisite.
