I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Sea day
The sunset tonight. We're heading to Port Said, Egypt, and should be entering the Suez Canal at 3:30 in the morning, reaching the Red Sea tomorrow evening.
There was a letter from the captain yesterday, assuring us that they are in touch with all of the relevant authorities and monitoring the situation, and that they have “implemented enhanced security measures.”
This was a sea day, which is why I was able to post more pictures than usual. The rest of the day was devoted to eating too much, walking three miles on the track on the top deck to make up for it (although it was another beautiful day so that wasn't exactly a penance), reading, and just staring out at the water. I thought I might work on next semester's syllabus while I had all this free time.
This did not happen.
