The Captain guiding the ship out of port in Ensenada. Charis studying. Barek and Asher studying. The daily soccer game for kids. Our one-room school house is in a section of one of the dining rooms.
We are settling into shipboard life during the long voyage from Ensenda to Hawaii. We all have our "sea legs" now, but the huge amount of rolling back and forth kept most onboard up all night--and broke a glass in the kids' bathroom, sent things flying around our room, and kept most folks rolling from one side of the bed to the other all night. Rumor has it that we are too close to our destination, so they are slowing the ship down which is the cause of the rolling. It is amusing to see folks stagger from one side of the hallway to the other, but we're ready for smooth sailing. Running on the treadmill was impossible, so I switched to the eliptical machine which worked out a lot better.
Steve and I started teaching yesterday and all is off to a great start. Students seem wonderful and everyone is happy to be here, so the courses should be a pleasure for us all.
The kids are doing well with their school work. Mostly we have school in the morning and enrichment and PE for the kids in the afternoons. Although internet is sometimes spotty, so far Charis has been able to get online for her coursework. More later!! We miss everyone!!!
