Sadly, this will be a very short post. I’m busy studying for an upcoming board meeting so today’s activities (and writing about them) were very limited:

• 9:30 lecture on “Health, Wealth, and Politics in Contemporary Australia”
• 11:00 lecture on the efforts to establish a utopian community of Australians – in Paraguay
• Lunch then a brief visit to the art exhibition put on by the participants in the on-board art class
• 3:00 choir rehearsal
• 4:30 port talk on Sydney
• 6:30 lecture “What Has Whaling Done for Us?”
• 8:00 BBB – 14/28
• 9:00 Evening Show – “A Grand Viking Valentine” with commentary and performances by some of the on-board talent and others. A Great show.
• Return to our Stateroom:

Tomorrow we’re in Eden (the Australian version). We’re scheduled for an extended walking tour thru a national park so get ready for lots of tree photos.

Till then, R
