Day of good lectures

Today we had an abundance of good lectures. 1st was the port lecture on Lisbon. I've been there a number of times so didn't see much new to see. As a result, I'm still uncertain of my plans. For first time visitors I recommend Sintra with a visit to the Moorish Castle and the Royal Palace.

The second lecture was our celebrity talk by Angela Cartwright. She was in The Sound of Music as one of the children. In addition she was Penny on Lost in Space. I didn't realize it but she started working as a child actress at 3 and pretty much seems to have worked steadily until she was a Sr. in high school. Her talk was great!

The third lecture was on the Hubble Telescope. It was excellent! I wish we had an astronomer on board in the South Pacific. At night I would go to the top deck to look at the stars but they never turned off the top deck lights so it was hard to see much. The astronomer said we may have a star gazing night if there are clear skies between here and Dover. I sure hope so!
