St. John, New Brunswick

We stopped rocking as soon as we entered the harbor this morning at 7 AM.  Not a big day planned here which was good since it is overcast and raining off and on.  We take our time to get up and moving then meet Kay and Judy to head to breakfast.  Nobody seems in a hurry today with the rain and chill.  We sat talking after breakfast then when we went to the atrium to get the elevator to our cabin, we found they were rehearsing the acrobatic show they will do tonight.  The speed with which they hoisted that girl up 14 decks in a sling was enough to make my stomach drop.  They did these shows on the Oasis as well and they were great.  These kids are so talented and limber.

We got our stuff together and headed off the ship to just do some shopping.  We walked around at the vendors and a few purchases were made.  The girls were mainly wanting to use the free wifi in the terminal building.  Apparently all the crew were too.  We sat in the lobby while everyone but me (I didn’t bring my phone in my bag when I left the ship) checked emails,, sent emails and just ignored me.  Soon they tired of struggling to send things since the bandwidth was challenged and they went with me to get back on the ship.  We went to lunch and sat up there leisurely enjoying conversation.  Judy was going to nap, Kay was going for a walk, Debbie was working on our door decoration and I was writing the blog.  I must stop and get ready for dinner.  Tonight we are dining at the alternate (pay) restaurant Chops Grille then going to the show who is a comedian.  Kay checked the weather with her wifi and it is not looking good for Bar Harbor tomorrow.  Debbie went to check on our excursions and they said the captain hasn’t made a decision yet as to whether we will go to Bar Harbor or not….supposed to be storms and high winds…not good for a tender port…..we are bummed.

In the interest of slow internet, I am going to wait to post pictures until we get to Maine.
