This morning, Grant and I woke up and did our Rasul treatment. It was a very relaxing way to spend our day. Plus, we got to spend a few minutes in the thermal suite before they took us to the rasul chamber so that was nice. The thermal suite had these tiled reclining benches that were very warm, and faced out to the sea.
After our spa time, we met up with mom and Bobby and had lunch in the Windjammer. After lunch, we decided to head towards the front of the ship to try to oget a good spot for spotting the glacier, but on the way we passed the rock wall - one of my goals for this trip. So - I did it! I climbed the rock wall. I did the beginner course and made it too the top. Then Bobby tried. There was almost no one there, so I went a head and did the beginning course again. Feeling so confident, I decided to try thje more advanced course (there were 6 different levels, but they only had the first and the fourth open today.) so I did the harder one, but I could only make it half way up - partly because I was tired and didin;t rest in between and partly becasue it was difficult. Once I realized that I wasn't going to make it this time, I turned around and told the guy. he was really nice about it - he said "just rest, it is okay, you can do it," but I had already sort of lost my nerve and I was really tired so finally I just went down. Oh well - thats cool. I climbed it a few times, which was my goal, and I can alwyas try again later!
So, we headed towards the front of the boat to see Hubbard glacier. again, the weather was awesome. The whole crew was out taking pictures, and many of them said that this had been the clearest day they'd had all summer, and last week had been very foggy. Today was crystal clear, sunny, and beautiful.
As we retrated, we all (mom Bobby Gary, Donna, Grant and I) came back to our balcony and watched the glacier as we pulled away. I personally didin;t see any activity, but Grant did!
Tonight was formal night, so we got dressed up in our fancy duds and headed out to get some pictures taken.
