Go to youtube.com and search “SNL On a Boat” and watch the video that comes up. That’s the song that’s been in my head since yesterday, and I want it to be in your head, too.
So far the cruise is pretty cool. I got a head start on the sunburn by getting burnt yesterday morning at the farmer’s market, so that is going well. Also, I spent the 4 days before we left for the cruise in Colorado at Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp at a retreat for my volunteer program. Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp is at an elevation of over 9,000 feet, so I spent the better part of the week feeling woozy with altitude sickness. Now we’re about 5 stories above sea level and moving, so I’m feeling woozy with sea sickness. That made for a nice transition.
The highlight for me has been the 24-hour free frozen yogurt (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, with sprinkles, m&ms, cookies, and other toppings!) and staring at the crew members’ nametags to see what country they’re from. The majority seem to be from the Philippines, but many, many countries are represented. My personal mission is to find one from Serbia (though I will also accept, in order of preference, people from Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia, or Croatia). I spent this morning on the deck reading my “Teach Yourself Serbian” book hoping to attract a handsome Serbian crew member. None so far, but we have 5 days left.

Thanks for the "On a Boat" link. That was the final push Chris and I needed to go ahead and buy a boat.
