It is a beautiful warm day here in the port so it should become warmer as we head more south. It is good to be back in the sun. I now know a bit better the reason i had my dream in Athens with the preacher and the answer to my rehash of the religious…
I have just used the bowl i bought in Greece for the first time. I used it for lunch and filled it with olives, dates and nuts. When finished eating, i filled it full of water and used it for a cup, then i wiped it out. It worked perfectly. Almost everyone disembarked today and…
