Some Needed Vacation From our Vacation

We were all literally exhausted from the previous few days, in particular the very-full day in St. Petersburg, this second day-at-sea came at exactly the right now. We all slept in and enjoyed a room-service breakfast. While we elected to not return to the overpriced spa, Anna and I did play in the "Olympics Trivia," which we lost by one answer. Sigh. We also sat in the game room and played a lot of cards. All three of us also finished our respective books on this day, which was incredibly relaxing. We also elected to eat in the "specialty restaurant" this night, which was in the ship's sushi restaurant. The food was quite good and service was outstanding. With only a couple tables occupied, and with a view to the sushi chefs, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable meal.
