Dressing for Dinner

Christmas Day dawns. Blue skies and sunshine (and Eggs Benedict for breakfast) set the tone for the day. 


As experienced seafarers, Eve and I languidly spend the day hanging around the ship, searching for whales (saw one), reading, doing sport, and taking a sauna. 


At 4 pm we retire to our cabin to get dressed for the Christmas Gala dinner. Suggested apparel: Elegant. 


Eve is wearing a lovely new dress she purchased in Potsdam last week for just such an occasion. I have my tux. 


I feel like we are a couple of characters from an old movie, taking part on a Grand Tour of Europe.  The journey is slow and steady, one chats with fellow passengers, and not much exciting (no murders, no icebergs) happens. Dressing for dinner becomes a highpoint. 


We are prepared. Let the evening begin!
