Day 25/Cruise Day 12 -- At Sea


We passed between Italy mainland and Sicily and could see both. Bo had her hair done in the ship’s salon (a pretty good experience and the result also pretty good) and then had a very lively lunch with two couples from Texas who have a lot of land and raise cattle and horses. They told us about a desperate drought they were experiencing that forced them to sell almost all cattle and drive long distances to buy feed for their horses. We compared notes about this cruise (they are very experienced cruisers who started cruising in the 1970s) and came to the same conclusion that we have not seen that many obese people gathered in one place before. Then Bo went to a seminar entitled “How to eat more and lose weight”. Surprisingly, it was very sparsely attended, but it wasn’t very good either.
Tomorrow morning we get to Civitavecchia at about 7 am and get off the ship at about 9 am. Our first cruising experience is almost over. Would we do it again. Maybe.
