Day 11 of Baltic Cruise - Day at Sea

Today was our second day at sea. I taught at 9:05 a.m. I had two students – a couple from South Korea. They had only limited knowledge or comprehension of English, but it went well. I would explain something, and she would start telling him what to do in Korean. Sometimes, they would just start arguing in Korean during the lesson. It was so funny! But they knew what they were doing when they left, so it was a success! We played cards for a while, had lunch, and then I taught the second class. It also went well, and a couple of the men asked how to find a teacher, so I believe it was also successful. It is quite cold out today – walking around the deck requires a jacket or sweatshirt, and it is rainy. We are currently passing 5 ships that we can see out of our window – this is a very heavily traveled sea area! Dinner tonight is lobster and steak, and we decided to eat in our room. While eating, we noticed that we were within a few hundred yards of 5 ships, and the security officer is out patrolling the deck. We are wondering if there is any typical danger of pirates or other activity! We are so spoiled and blessed.
