SEA DAY!     Malaga Spain to Barcelona

Today is a Sea Day, which means we're just traveling all day with no ports of call.  What that means from a practical standpoint is that we’ll have a busy day in the medical center.  It is not that different from life in emergency department, where the volume of patients is dependent on what is on television!



Yesterday we stopped in Malaga, Spain.  Since it was my day to be on call, I could not leave the boat, so the pictures are all from the boat. I will get more pictures when I get off the boat on a future stop in Malaga.  I also took some pictures as we got underway, with the boat turning around in the harbor, rather pretty in the dark I thought! 






 After we finished with clinic last night the Medical Staff went  out to Cagneys Steakhouses to say good bye to Dr. Reyes who is ending her contract with this cruise. Reggie is a Filipino nurse, Yolanda is a nurse from Spain, Stacy is n RN from Louisiana, Dr Reyes is the LMO (lead medical officer) from the Philippians,  and Arun is our enviornmental tech from India.

    I was betting that it would be like the ER, just without most of the real emergencies! Hope you don't have too many Sea Days!

    I don't think I will get to spend much time in the Jacuzzi, since I am require to be in uniform when ever I an in a "Guest" area!

    That's a bummer, but you are at least able to use the exercise room in something less than full dress uniform...or do you have a separate exercise room for staff?

    The ship looks beautiful. At least your walks will always be interesting, at least at first.

    Your going to have to get an extra uniform that you can set aside as swimming attire :) I would LOVE pictures of you in the Jacuzzi in full uniform :)

    I've been to Malaga! 1967 Of course I was looking out to sea not the same perspective. But makes me nostalgic none the less. Sis
