Day 0 – Departure to Buenos Aires (Mar 10)
Day 0 – Departure to Buenos Aires (Mar 10)

March 17

Over the next couple of days at sea, Mom got a Mani-Pedi on the 17th of March while Dad played Cribbage again with Scott.

I continue to look for birds for Michael.  But taking pictures with my phone is harder than a single lens reflex camera.  On the phone the camera on the back is not in the center of the phone image so you’re always pointing in the wrong direction.  But I did get a few pictures.

A slow day for us. Found another bird and got a relatively good pic this time. I was told this was a masked booby. But, I’ll leave Michael to correctly identify this bird.

In the evening on the 17th we went to The Chef’s Table as a party of 2 but had a great conversation with another party to our left…also a party of 2.

Mom began to notice she has a sore throat

I went to the Torshavn and let her sleep to see if she’d be better in the AM.

March 18

Mom coughed all night – we went to the doc, who looked at her and said if she wasn’t better to come back tomorrow.  She spent the day in bed while I wandered the ship exploring the sights…not much to tell on these couple of days. We changed from the original walking tour to a Catamaran tour, thinking our friends Michael and Luc were on it and the included Walking Tour didn’t sound as fun and relaxing as a Catamaran tour.
