This was a great day.  After about a month of traveling with very little break it was nice to wake up at noon and have a day with no plans.  I did exaggerate a bit I woke up at nine not noon but I spent time writing and thinking about future plans.  When the entire family was up and ready to move about the ship we had a lovely lunch up in the main cafeteria.  After dad went to the library to work on some music and the three girls went to napkin folding.  This may sound a little dull but it was very cool.  I can now make a candle, a rose, a standup fan, and the Sydney Opera House out of table napkins.  We then found father and played a game of Clue.  I had been a very long time since I had played that game and my goodness I had forgotten how much fun it is!  Mother went to get a massage and Mia and I went swimming.  This was my mistake.  I didn’t think about the fact that I was still ill and that the boat was moving at a brisk pace creating a powerful wind.  And that once I got my head wet that I would get chilled.  Man I wish I had used my head before jumping in the pool. 

That Evening we had a Chinese meal, which was a lovely change from our usual meals.  After our meal we attended a Broadway medley that was quite excellent.  Every time I watch shows similar to what we saw I am reminded why I love theater and preforming.  No matter where I am when I see them singing and dancing up on the stage all I want to do is get up and join them.  I want to learn how to dance and how to move because I feel like there is very few things on this Earth as beautiful as expression and storytelling through body movement and dance.
