Instead of rewriting someone else's work or news, here is a brief post on another blog from the Peet's who are on board the ship also...their link is also on the right hand side of this blog.
This tragedy occurred not to far from the ship.
Land sick no more.
This morning I went up on the sea wall (in the designated area). I brought my ipod and my desire to spend some time with my Jesus. It was more than fantastic. I sat up on the wall with my capris hiked up and enjoyed the sun penetrating into my skin. All I could see was the sun and the waves, the sight was purely majestic. When we lived in Texas I hated that we were so far from the ocean, now each day I wake up to the ocean noises and beauty.

About Roast Beef...
From ship to ship and at the IOC we have some similiar cuts of meat and some that range a bit beyond what is normally seen. So, as you can imagine I have to learn how to work with the food after seeing its various cooking 'personalities' what it will and won't do for me, and what I may have to force upon it by method of rubs, brines, and marinades.
I am not quite happy with the beef used for Roast Beef yet, and as you bare with me I will be applying other 'tricks of the trade' so to speak to see what I can get this beef to do for me...its much like getting old circus animals to do new tricks for a new ringmaster.
Also, we are looking into getting some horseradish for a nice sauce, we do not have any horseradish at present.
That being said, a nice meat slicer would accomodate us quite nicely...
EMT
Today I attended my first Emergency Medical Team meeting. I didn't really know what to expect. I still am not really sure what to expect. It's intentions is to be similar to a code team. We respond to all medical emergencies and are involved in the the fire drills. All of this sounds fine, but as we were in our meeting I realized wow, we live in a hospital. Every time there is an emergency a mess of people will respond. This is good and bad. It is very hard to function in an emergent situation with too many people involved. There may be 4 anethesists, 5 surgeons, and up to 50 nurses. Oh my. So for now, I will pray there are no emergent situations and if there is one, I will do my best to fulfill my duties as a part of the EMT. I will also try to remember the famous first line of many medical schools "First do no harm".
