Imagine my relief when I saw David plus luggage on the gangway trying convince the cruise official that he actually belonged on this ship!  I like to think that it was my honest freckled face that convinced said official, but more likely it was his boarding pass.  I slept a lot today, still recovering from my adventures in Rome.

Cannes

As I said, I had no interest in Cannes after the fascinations of Utah Valley (LOL).  Actually, the Mediterranean really is blue, but Cannes looks like Irvine (don’t take offense, Buffy.   I just mean it’s full of all the sorts of office buildings you see in So Cal.  After breakfast in bed, I went to sleep again.  This boat is so soporific, all I want to do is sleep and eat.  However, due to the punishment my hips received yesterday, I actually submitted to acupuncture, and it worked!  David insisted we explore the ship in the course of which we dropped by the non-stop buffet and ate goodies.  More goodies for dinner, plus a delightful new couple from Stanford at dinner.  She knows my longtime friend Christy Neidig.  We had many things in common, and that was a delight.  After a day of doing virtually nothing, we must rise in the morning at 6 am to visit Cinque Terre, the five villages that can only be accessed by the sea.  We promise wonderful pictures.

So glad to have my husband back again!
