i'mmmmm back




Well, it was a grand tour.  Had a great time in the Mediterranean.  Really glad to be home.  We take so much for granted here in the states.  The pollution was awful, especially in Cairo, big gap  between the "haves" and the "have nots" over a lot of the countries, the dollar was low against the euro and not unusual to spend 12 eu on a cup of coffee (about $18 and we think Starbuck's is bad. . .)    Favorite thing of all was the "smart car" coming to US this coming year. . . mercedes. . .and you don't have to parallel park, it will fit in a parking space the other way!!!!!





Have seen a pod of 7 manatees go by the dock, weather has been cool and wonderful, we are tearing into the house to clean and sort and pitch.  His, mine and ours, minus our house guests means a reorganization.  I spent Jonathan's Egypt time (he went back for 10 days) going through storage bins from the Cameron house, rearranging cupboards, making jewelry and painting.  It was a really good renewal time.  
We took over 5000 pics while we were gone.  The new sony worked great and we took the little nikon, too.  Beautiful spots, historic places, temples and cathedrals, mosques and lots of bus rides.  My favorites were Venice and (of all the places I wouldn't have thought. . .)Dubrovnik, Croatia.  Downloaded the 30 day trial of Adobe cs3 and only have about 10 days left and all I have managed to do is get the pics onto my computer. . .no play yet!!!
