day 8, Jan 20, 2011, at sea

Today is Thursday. Nice and warm and a clear blue sky.

We went to an interesting lecture this morning about the settlement of Brazil. Did you know that the entire Portuguese Court of 15,000 went to Brazil to escape Napoleon? Also, the reason some countries speak Spanish and Brazil speaks Portuguese is that The Pope drew a line through Brazil to divide it up.

Here are some pictures we took around the ship.

Later this afternoon, we are going to another planetarium presentation after the trivia quiz.

I put the video of our room again for Dave. By the way, the photo of me waving is at the very top of the ship. The photo of Mom and others is at the Terrace Pool.
