Seaday 9
Finally, one more day until we set foot on Terra Firma. The Tuesday Seaday was uneventful we all were waiting anxiously for the passage Through the Strait of Gibraltar. Even if it is at 3:30am. Notice i finally spelled Strait correctly and even made it singular.
We mostly, just napped or read books. Nothing to report.
Well there was one thing. One of our table mates had a birthday today and the other will later this month so we made some cards and ordered a special birthday cake. Otherwise, When the novelty wears off, what remains is just a trip across the Atlantic Ocean.
One thing, however, our Maitre'd said that he was told that crossing the Atlantic was going to be rough, big swells and waves. We had non of that. Our weather was sunny and warm, some times a little cool but the most waves we had were swells of 10ft and choppy 4-6ft waves. Nothing else.Talk about a great crossing!
Since i write this after visiting Malaga you will here more about weather in the next installment.

  1. Must feel good to walk around ground again. I looked at the pictures of Malaga on Google Earth. What an interesting place. I think I would like Spain, and Portugal, and Italy, and Greece. What was the local food like? The wine? The beer? Were there English speaking people or did you have to do the broken Spanish thing? " Where is the batha rooma ?" Love the blog Don !We are having a lot of heavy wet snow but..Comedy Fest has started and they are loving it. Front Street has been turned into a snow fun land! All free. For us it is blow the driveway and wait forthe plow to block the end of it again. Have fun!
