Some days need to start with a riddle. Overnight we magically advanced our clocks and calendars by 24 hours so that Saturday, October 8 became Monday, October 10.
Like every sea day so far this trip we had our devotional time with Father Robert. Afterwards this morning, however, we changed the routine up a bit by attending the ensaymada and cinnamon roll making demonstration by Bobby the head baker in the Culinary Arts Center. It was a nice demo, and the sampling was even better. Ensaymadas are essentially a cinnamon roll type pastry filled with cheese.
Sanda Millikin's lecture on the Mutiny on the Bounty followed. It was actually quite good and she showed more pictures of Pitcairn Island. My wife had a ukulele and hula rehearsal so my lunch was alone until Neil and Mickie from CC joined me.
Kelly, our location guide showed lots of fish pictures in her presentation, Under the Keel. She was followed by Barry Dreyer who presented a military history of the takeover of Samoa by the ANZAC troops at the start of WWI. It seemed to me to be too detailed of an account for the audience, but was interesting to me as I enjoy military history and tactics.
The hula and ukulele classes performed in a special final Hawaiian stage show and our evening's main stage was a second performance of the Not Really Three Tenors with all new songs. The show was packed for both performances and they were quite talented in their singing. I also watched the movie 'Central Intelligence' while my wife participated in Karioke night in the Crow's Nest (which was well attended).
While the destination is important, savor the journey.
