Overslept this morning and didn't get off the ship until close to noon. Had to be back on board by five. I wanted to attend a spiritual conference (SUBUD World Congress 2010), so I headed over there to see what was on the agenda. Free internet was set up so I took advantage. There was a 1pm meditation so I was able to participate in that. Also t...
