February 3rd - Super Bowl


The ship did broadcast the super bowl!  I think I wrote earlier that we thought it would be on at 11:30 AM our time…nope.  We are constantly moving the clock forward as we move eastward, losing an hour or so every couple of days, it gets confusing.  The super bowl actually began at 4:30 AM our time on Monday.  Unfortunately for us it was also a night we were moving the clock forward so it really felt like 3:30 AM to us.

Fred set his alarm and we did get up and watch the game.  I watched the first two series and then took a shower but otherwise we saw the whole game.  We saw the Fox broadcast and the half time show but didn’t get to see all the great commercials.  We were watching a feed from ESPN and they showed the same promos over and over again, mostly about upcoming cricket matches.

We ordered breakfast in so that was nice.  We were able to sit and watch while eating.  We thought the game was just so-so, really not much better than a regular season game.  We really don’t root for either team but we were hoping to see the 49’rs win this one because their quarterback used to be with our team.  Fred took a nap right after the game and I took one a little later on.  We really needed them.


We have one more day at sea and then we’re in Columbo, Sri Lanka.  Since we’ve been there before we’re just going to take the shuttle into town and see what’s around.  Tonight, we have to turn the clocks ahead one-half hour…really.  I remember this from when we were here before but I don’t remember why Sri Lanka is in their own little time zone bubble.
