and I went on a cruise to Norway this summer to celebrate our 35th
wedding anniversary, going to the north, the far north, north of the North
Cape, north of the old World War II arctic convoy routes that went from
Iceland to Archangel around the North Cape, all the way north to
Spitsbergen Island. It was quite an adventure, two weeks on the high
seas cruising along the Norwegian coast up to Spitsbergen, about 600 miles
from the North Pole, and even though I didn’t see Santa Claus it was so
cool, way cool! And if the heat is getting you down, just gaze upon
the glacier in the first photo at our farthest northern point on the
voyage on a warmish day in June, well warmish by Arctic standards anyway! Another highlight of the cruise was the candle light dinner and here we are in the second photo with Miss Wendy all dressed up in her formal gown for the affair. As we haven’t actually been into the dining room yet, you won’t see the butter spot on my tie that came later …
I
heard it was 101 degrees in DC the other day, now it did set a record for
the date here in Tega Cay, but it was only 97, oh and I didn’t wear a tie
all day! When it gets really hot and steamy, just gaze upon the
glacier! |
