WARMEMUNDE

Well let me just start by saying this place is great. This was our one and only call at WARMEMUNDE Germany. Lots of little shops and stands to get food. Lots of places to get food. Yes we did see a McDonalds, and NO we didn't go in. We found every kind of sausage and hot dog you can imagine. Really good sourcrout, and beer. I didn't care for the beer too much, very bitter. After a lot of walking and lunch we all came back to the ship to pass out, then we went out and did it again.
The ship was in port all day, as most passangers went to Berlin on tour, wich is about 2.5 hours away by bus. We had a tech run so we couldn't go. Oh well, we had a great time in port anyway.
After a few hours sleep we all went out for dinner again, we didn't make it very far past the ship this time, when we found a large croud eating at a hot dog stand. Now let me start by saying, Americans have no clue what a big hot dog is, foot long these were not!!!! These were 1/2 meter. It's like eating 4 foot longs. And it was great. They cook them on rollers like we do, think baseball park, or seven eleven. But I think they have the heat way up, and us a good casing becuase they were crispy on the outside. Wow they were good.

I Got Nominated!

Well today I had a nice surprise, I meet with the crew office staff to go over the PowerPoint slides for today's Captain's Meeting. And what did I see, I got nominated for Employee of the Month. No I didn't win, but at least it shows that some people notice all my hard work.

Oh and if your wondering where I will be for the Fourth of July, I will be in Russia. Is it just me or is something wrong with that!!!!
