No, not that kind of love, although he turns out to be a very nice gentleman.
I read articles by Andy Mumford in Fujilove, a digital magazine. He wrote a compelling article about long exposure photography which is something Terry is interested in learning. Continue reading Pssst…..I’m in love with Andy
I talked Terry into “being a local”. I tell him, “Just think honey how much fun it will be to stay in an apartment, shop in village markets, walk to local cafes and bars and listen to the music of foreign languages. Let’s dive in and let the experience wash over us.” He not excited but he’s willing to go along. Continue reading Uh Oh….Alfama and the Best Laid Plans for Lisbon
Here we are on our last day of the cruises. We dock in Lisbon. We will be spending two days here taking a master Photography class workshop with Andy Mumford, an Englishman, who transplanted himself to Portugal almost twenty years ago. Continue reading Where the King Goes
I live to eat. Oceania’s restaurants are like having the best of Bon Appetit and Gourmet magazines come to life. You have a multitude of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner….all superb.

Michelangelo’s famous “David” has drawn visitors to Florence for hundreds of years. I think everyone waited until today to take a peek. The crowds are overwhelming. Don’t take your eyes off your partner or they will be swallowed up by the river of tourists constantly moving around you. Continue reading Where’s His Fig Leaf?
This is our last day in Barcelona. Our cruise departs this evening. Too much to see, too little time. After once again storing our cumbersome luggage, we meet Sonia in the glass-walled lobby.
