Last day on cruise

Well the fun is all over now. About a day and a half of open ocean from Cozumel back to Galveston.  While the fun didn't really end over this time there was really a strange sense of sadness on the boat.  We did however do our best to make the most out of the time remaining. 

I had managed to find the very front of the boat one day as I was lost trying to find the gym.  Not really sure if it was a place that we were really supposed to be, but that didn't stop us from going.  There was a observation deck above the bridge, which really stuck out over the ocean.  It was a bit of a uneasy place to be standing and enjoying the view.  Cool, but we didn't really stick around that much. 

Above the bridge, nothing but air underneath us.

We also watched a cooking presentation by the head chef and the maitre d'.  They were funny speaking Italians, who had both worked on cruise ships for something like 25 years.  The real reason we went was to get a chance to tour the kitchen afterwards.  This was only 1 of 8 kitchens, which makes it even more impressive, but the scale of everything in there was just amazing. 

At the end of the cruise they prepared a little newsletter which talked about everything.  Including the most traveled passenger.  Check it out below......seems like my kind of retirement.  Thelma was just a couple rooms away from where we were staying.
