@sea enroute to Nagasaki, Japan

Today was a sea day and it was just what I needed.  I was not feeling well yesterday my asthma was acting up so after our tour we came back I took my predisone and antibiotic and climbed into bed at 3pm.  We had dinner sent to the room and I stayed there until 9am this morning.

I needed to be well since last week we received an invitation to have dinner in Prego (Italian Restaurant on board) with Mr. Gregg Michel the President of Crystal Cruises.

He joined the ship in Beijing and today he gave a lecture about what is happening with the ships and unveiled the 2015 World Cruise.  He had a question and answer session also.  

Dinner tonight was a table of 8.  3 other couples and a single man.  At times the conversation got heated about smokers vs no smokers.  When all was set and done.  Gregg thanked me for being the "voice of reason".  

We had a set menu  appetizer was a choice of seafood or buffalo mozzerala with tomatoes and balsamic 

Followed by their famous cream of mushroom soup in a bread bowl

Main course was a choice of a fish or rack of lamb.

The wine was flowing as was the conversation.  He is a lovely man and we did enjoy our evening.

Tomorrow we will be in Nagasaki Japan

We did cancel our tour to Tokyo from Osaka but will go to Koyoto.  

Not sure when internet will be back up so I am rushing to get this done.

Will be in touch when I can

Good night and God Bless
