7:45 Arrive in Gustavia, and there is no taxi line, but we spot a taxi after a few minutes and it takes us to the hotel. The room is very nice and I unpack with enthusiasm, while Mike showers + relaxes on deck.

9pm We go to dinner at the Hotels' Felini Restaurant, next to the pool. We were the only two there, and the waiter's english was not fluent. The tomato + mozarella salad + sashimi tuna + some bottled water cost 58 Euro or about $80. (We split the food.) Just after dinner I got a message the Meg needs to talk with me urgently. Unfortunately my phone does not work, so I have to have the front desk call Meg, and then call me to connect. Meg tells me that Dad died on Wednesday about 9:20 PM. She + the nurses had decided not to add the feeding tube. Next, I try to get phone fixed, but to no avail, so I have front desk call Emily for me. We talk about a half hour.

12:30 Go to bed. Sleep, but also think about what I'd say if we can have a funeral for Dad.
