Mediterranean Cruise: Sicily and Athens


On July 14, we arrived in Messina where Dave and I took a "City Tour"---not so good. Deb and Jim went on an excellent wine-tasting tour with the St. Charles group and a couple from Branson---11 on their bus were from Missouri!

Each night we had our towels in a different animal arrangement---this one was one of my favorites. The next day, we were "at sea"---Deb and I tried a Pilates class and we played Bingo but didn't win anything. That night was one of the Formal nights.
On July 16, we went to Athens where we again had a so-so tour of Athens. We got to see all of the sites, but . . .
Sometimes I just like sitting on the balcony watching the sunset as we went by some Greek islands.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
