Spent the day just enjoying Mary Lou’s company. We started the day with a breakfast at Buck’s, a Redwood City tradition. Spent the afternoon outside on the patio reading, knitting, and just talking. In the evening we had a delicious dinner at the Elephant Bar in Fremont with Lou’s friend Nimfa. It was an altogether relaxing and fun day.
I like the picture of the coffe cups clinking. who ever thought of that had a good idea. I assume Bucks is a local coffe place and not short for Starbucks. Mary M.
It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
Once the largest cruise ship in the world, Allure of the Seas will be our home for the next seven nights as we cruise the Western Mediterranean and explore the eighteen decks of this behemoth.
Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
