At Sea

Howdy,

I have a couple of corrections to make. One there are only four theaters in the Opera House, I said five. Perth is not the capital of Australia. It is the capital of Western Australia, and I do not know the name of the state. Another correction, we are not visiting Indonesia at all, with our bypassing Bali. We are of to Malaysia to a town named I do not know. The one thing I am confident about is that it will be hot. Tomorrow, Perth with a forecast temp of 97 degrees. I am sure it will be a warm welcome.

I have been doing a lot of reflecting the past couple of days. I spend time watching the water roll by. Their varying shades of blue, at times it appears black. At times as calm as a lake and at others white caped. Whatever, the sea is vast, breath taking, spectacular, overpowering, magnificent and beautiful. 70% of this planet is covered by water. What an insignificant piece of reality am I. It is humbling and exciting. I watch people run around the ship, conversing, enjoying what is offered, some complaining about everything and others wrapped up in the beauty of the world they are able to experience and enjoy.
