I am ensconced aboard the M/V Explorer and struggling to find myself around
the ship, eternally lost as which is aft and which is fore. All passageway are the same
carpet pattern and color, so landmarks look a like. Today 520 students boarded, 190
males, 310 females and the place is getting lively.
We depart for Cadiz, Spain tonight and my scopolamine patch is in place hopefully
forestalling sea sickness. The ship is a floating university with computer room, library
classrooms and 30 faculty members. Student get credits for their courses, sponsored
by the Univ. of Virginia
Our senior group is call Life Long Learners and we will audit classes of our choice, and attend other lectures for everyone one subjects relating to the countries
we visit. There are 30 of us L L L’s and it is diverse group from several states who
seem quite congenial. Earl.

Earl,
ReplyDeleteLovely to get the update. You are well on your way! It sounds like you will enjoy your LLL group!
What classes are you taking? 5? wow, you are busy! How is Wenda's class going? what's Gregg up to?
Let's just see if this "post" makes it to the blog.
Kathy
I can't wait to hear which classes you are taking and how the trip across the vast Atlantic went. Loving this!
