Still Winter

Hometown weather clings to Ryndam today. Everyone is hopeful tomorrow will bring some temperature increase. Still, the day at sea has been enjoyable, even though our Trivia team was beaten badly.

We began with breakfast in the main dining room. So so. Lunch and dinner in the buffet were a vast improvement. Unlike other lines, HAL buffet fare is very close to fine restaurant quality. Most hot dishes are prepared 'on the fly'. That is not to say it's akin to short order diners. All looks appetizing and rests well on the palate.

Interesting to happen into conversation this afternoon with a gentleman who graduated from my Michigan high school. (Er -- nineteen years after I was there.)

There are no photos for today. The camera was left in our cabin throughout the day. Makes for a more restful first full day at sea.
