Aaarrgghh!  The wi-fi on the ship is so-o-o-o slow, I’m pretty sure that dial-up was faster.  I mean that literally.  Last night, after attending a great cover show of the Beatles’ music, I got impatient while trying to upload a picture to post on my previous blog entry, so I took a shower.  Even though I reduced the quality of the picture, it was still uploading when I finished my shower.  I know this is definitely a first-world problem–slow internet on my vacation cruising the Baltic Sea on a luxury ship in a stateroom that even has a heated bathroom floor–but the internet is an integral part of communication today, so it’s frustrating.  It’s also making it harder to keep up with my blogging while my thoughts are fresh.

Well, relaxing and enjoying the amenities of the ship is not hardship duty, so I’m off to do something non-internet related.

Note: If the air temperature is 64 degrees, and the water temperature is 68 degrees, is it really summer?
