Hope all is well with you, especially our fellow Californians. Sending you sunny thoughts and dry humor.
We had a one hour time change last night so got an extra hour of sleep. This is a much more palatable way to deal with time change….slow and steady.
Thanks for all the positive feedback and requests for photos. Not much to photograph yet because we’re somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The weather is sunny and mild. Just beautiful.
Did you know the Pacific Ocean is 64 million square miles? It’s twice the size of the Atlantic, a third of Earth’s surface, 46% of the world’s total water surface, and as deep as 35,797 feet deep at the Mariana Trench.
Here’s where we are currently:
After breakfast and morning yoga, Eberhard went for his bridge lesson and Jessica went for her Wellness Analysis at the Spa. The Age-Less Spa package was a Christmas present from Eberhard. Jessica was hooked up to a dozen or so electrodes. Her hands and feet were stationed on mirror-like panels. The whole get up looked like something between a lie-detector test and Frankenstein’s annual check-up. The pages of computer results were impressive. We’ll spare you the details but her Wellness Score was 93 out of 100. The handsome Swede, Thomas, who analyzed the results said most people score between 60 and 70%. I bet he says that to all the girls and, yes, he got a big tip.
Spa hot tub:
Then we went looking for the shops to buy Jessica an exercise outfit. There were plenty of Scandinavia ski sweaters but no Lululemon.
Jessica and her new found friend/bridge partner Peggy Bossie (that’s really her name although Jessica is much bossier than she is) have now come in second in the duplicate bridge tournament two days in a row.
We had an early dinner of gravlax sandwiches at the bar because we’re going to a 6:30 lecture about human migration patterns. Never a dull moment!
