Ship email and posting comments on our blog

Hello!

Yes, we can see your posted comments and we love them! Keep 'em coming - it helps us remember that folks are actually reading our rambling blog postings.

Just a few reminders:

Shipboard email (Intranet - so we can access all the time):
hricks@semesteratsea.net
wheinrich@semesteratsea.net

Photo site (you can post comments on that one too):

We are 4 nights from India - very exciting! The Indian Ocean has been very pretty, though yesterday was quite rough. This was especially unfortunate as it was not only Yom Kippur but also our shipboard Sea Olympics festivities. Synchronized Swimming became "Synchronized Dance" in our Union as the seas were too big to fill the pool (too dangerous). A few other events had to be slightly modified but the day went off without a hitch.
Perhaps Bill will have some time to write about the whole thing. Putting together this day was one of his primary responsibilities as the Recreation LLC (Living Learning Coordinator). He and the committee did a fantastic job. The Yellow Sea took the gold. Our Red Sea won the Flag design competition, Dodge ball and placed in other events. We also tied for second for our Chant/Mascot. Lots of spirit on our deck!

I'm off to dinner.
Love to you all,
heather ;)

I feel like having some Cha'i...albeit without the 2-stroke pollution...Still, India sounds so romantic and I was wondering if you saw any wild jackals roaming the streets? My friend Vladi said each home uses the back area for the landfill of sorts while the front of homes are tidy and that jackals come to raid the remains...?! Looking forward to some head bobbing lessons when you're home Love Michelle
