Dear Diary,
   Today was a long day. When Fuegia, Poena, and I woke up we were actually equally rested. First we washed Poena. Then I gave Poena a nice warm blanket to dry off with. I then put a bandage around one of her legs. She got a blister that was infected, fortunately it wasn't bad, but it still needs a band-aid.
   Then we got ready for the day. I went to breakfast. Then we got a nice warm blanket though it wasn't raining we still thought that it would be easier for Poena to go to sleep if she wants to. At breakfast we talked about a number of different things. Our conversation went like this:
Fuegia:     Did you see Aliaranel rushing by with a single leaf in her hand?
Me:     Yes, I did.
Fuegia:     You know, it is a wonder how it could ever be so stormy.
Me:     Yes! I quite agree.
Fuegia:     Mr. Darwin's here—he doesn't look to good.
Me:     Yep.

   Mr. Darwin joined our conversation.

Darwin:     Is anyone sitting there? (Pointing to the chair next to Fuegia)
Fuegia:     Nope.
Me:     You certainly don't look very well!
Darwin:    You'd expect on a ship that someone just has to get sick.
Fuegia:     I hope you don't go up on deck with every bite!
Darwin:    I just might!
Fuegia:     I hope you don't go up on deck with every bite!
Darwin:    I just might!
Me:     Oh, but you should try not to stay below deck! Breath some fresh air once in a while!
Darwin:    Yes, I have to admit I have been so into my work that I just don't stop to enjoy the trip.
Fuegia:     Yes, well, I have to admit you are getting less and less pleasant and more cranky since we haven't landed.
Darwin:    I was disappointed. Ever since I heard "land ho", I have been waiting for a chance to get on to dry land. By the way, when I heard "land ho" it sounded like a girl. Did you notice?
Me:     Well, of course—I was the one who shouted it.
Darwin:     Oh, then that makes a lot of sense.
Fuegia:     I didn't know that!
Me:     I guess I forgot to tell you.
Darwin:    How's your piglet?
Me:     Her name's Poena. She is right here. Healthy, except for a blister.
Darwin:    Does she eat?
Fuegia:     She is eating a bit of a potato today for breakfast.
Me:     It is probably time to finish eating. We were going to paint today.
Darwin:    Have fun!

    After breakfast, I got all of the supplies together. Poena was going to finger paint. I showed her how. She painted a nice picture that didn't look like anything. I painted (with a brush) a nice sunset over the ocean. Fuegia (with a brush too) painted a doll. I am making one as a present for Poena along with Fuegia. It is a nice one just for her. After that we had tea and lunch, we then went and read a few books, talked, played a game, and ate dinner. Then we went to bed, but got ready first of course.
