Picture Time!!

I have not blogged for the last few days as I had connection problems in my last days on the ship and then we had electrical problems in Portugal. Dead computers, malfunctioning converters and the wrong voltage do not a blog writer make.

Anyway, we are now safely back at home in California. I will write more about the other places we visited and will, over time, post lots of pictures for you to see. Here's the first batch with location notations. More writing and pictures to come when Finals Week is not demanding all my time.

The Spouse in Seville, Spain. We were on tour and these are the grounds of a palace we visited.

The view from the lift as I climbed the hillside in Santorini, Greece.
Me on the Greek Isle of Santorini. We had just been dropped off at the dock. Our ship is in the background.

The island of Santorini, Greece. A view from the deck of the ship.

The fort looking over the harbor in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The "Amazing Race" players were there in Dubrovnik last night. It was very strange to see them in the very places we had just been.

The Spouse inside the walled Old City of Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik - one of the sights to be seen as we wandered the streets. An ancient church that had been there for many centuries.
Also, inside the walled city of Dubrovnik.
One of the narrow alleys between the buildings in Dubrovnik.
In the square as we entered the city of Dubrovnik. This gentleman was selling a little good luck charm tourist thingy. We resisted.
Our first sight of Dubrovnik from the ship. The gorgeous bridge is a relatively new addition to their landscape.
In Venice, Italy. Need I say more?

Me sitting in the square resting. Venice, Italy.
The front of the church in St. Mark's Square. Venice, Italy.

St. Mark's Square. Beside the Basilica. Venice, Italy. (note all the pigeons)
