News from today, pictures from before



May 1st, and I'm way behind in posting pictures, etc. Yesterday was a lovely day (again!) which we spent in Valencia. It's a beautiful city, with a very modern, new section full of exciting architecture, and an old section which is equally interesting. Today, we are inundated with things to do, and I even skipped bridge this afternoon in favor of the Mozart Tea. Later, there is a party for the singles and unaccompanied passengers, and I was able to talk Fred into going with me, as my experience from previous such affairs, is that if one doesn't dance or drink (and I don't do either) then it can be rather boring. However, Fred's argument is that if we go together, then we are not single! to which I say "who cares?!" I really like my table mates in the dining room, this segment, and last night all 6 of us went to the Silk Road, the Japanese Restaurant on board, and had a marvelous time. After dinner, tonight, there is "The Liars Club" which is a terrific bit of entertainment, and before we give up to Morpheus, there is the ensemble of Champagne Strings to listen to, in the Crystal Foyer.
It's already Thursday, and we will sadly take our leave on Wednesday. Tomorrow is Gibraltar, but we may not even go ashore. The ship is only there for a few hours.
