January 29, 2014. Norwegian Star. At Sea.

A day at sea is very refreshing. Ken and I did nothing except sit on the balcony of our cabin while looking out at sea. It was wonderful. At breakfast we noticed people organizing their day. The ship has a huge number of activities available from craft classes to lectures. It was clear to us that most people take part of the activities. But not us. We walked the deck. Then we stayed in our cabin looking out at sea. We even ordered room service. Last evening after leaving Hautalco, we watched the birds from our balcony. We had a show. Thousands of birds putt on the show, but not for us. They were looking for their dinner. Unfortunately, we had no clue what kinds of birds they were. We elected to leave our bird book at home, thinking we would use the internet, But the internet on the ships are expensive and slow so we are left with no information. Nonetheless, we loved trying to figure out the birds. We just need a birder along with us. Tomorrow we spend the day in Puerto Vallarta. We hope to see whales in the bay. Gill’s friends Gill and Tom are in Vallarta for vacation, so we will meet them for lunch. They live in Toronto. What a world.
