Queen Mary 2 Day 12

Too much going on! I fell asleep before I posted yesterday! 

There is something wonderful about eating a fresh waffle while sitting in a sumptuous dining room looking out a window at the Atlantic rolling by. I kept hoping a whale would breach. No such luck. I had to make do with stimulating conversation! 

Finished tne green textured chevron scarf and gave it to Professor Crowe since he admired it. He says he'll wear it in NYC. I choose to believe him. 

Excellent lecture on the astrophysics of Star Wars and Star Trek. I was astounded to learn a particle had been teleported in 1998. The experiment has been repeated 4 times since with increasing distances; the most recent being from an observatory on Tenerife to one 150 miles away! Also, the US Army has tanks equipped with large bore lasers. 

What have I realized or re-affirmed on this crossing? I am incapable of playing bridge. I have no patience for children in bars. I still have not acquired a discerning wine pallet. Inside cabins are like sensory deprivation chambers. I require daylight to be happy. I loathe crowded hordes. Eevery man looks good in a tux. I don't like eel. I feel a degree of pity for those who take cruise after cruise after cruise because home does not appeal to them. The apple slices garnish on a Sydney Apple are made ro resemble the city's iconic Opera House.

The garlic escargot at dinner were so delicious that I had them for dessert as well. Not even tempted by the Chocolate Assortment! Our waiter didn't even bat an eye! 

High winds and dense clouds meant no stargazing again. Sigh. 😒
