A few more photos!!

We met these nice folks on the first day for dinner and shared a taxi ride into Bruges the next day.  It was fun spending the day with them.

A lazy day a sea!

on deck

Home again!

After a long travel day we are home at the lake.  It seems the fierce wind followed us and was whipping the lake to a frenzy.  It's nice to be here but I'm still rocking slightly in my head!

We enjoyed the cruise and many friends we made along the way.  Some we will meet again and some will only be internet friends.  There were so many conversations about all the wonderful places to visit in this world it is hard to pick what to do next.  Alaska in the spring, maybe Sicily in the fall...then who knows??

Now to laundry and gathering items for the trip south.  I've committed to several things that I'm anxious to get planned...a demo for San-Cap, the FMBAA paint around, an exhibit, the workshop in January, the mini project day in December and of course Paint the Beach.  My head is spinning!!!

Bermuda day

It was extremely windy this morning as we came into the islands of Bermuda. Grey clouds scuttled across the sky. Finally we docked and debarked an hour and a half late joined by George's pickleball friend Linden and his wife. They are an Asian American couple from San Francisco. He has given George some fierce games!

We took the ferry from Port Royal to Hamilton and walked around the town a bit. The art center was interesting and had a exhibit of art by a painter who was biking around the island with her paints. We located the bus terminal and hopped on for a ride to St. George. This was a nice way to see some of the countryside of this small island.

St. George is small but we enjoyed seeing the very old church, meeting house and other buildings. They have used the old limestone buildings for stores and restaurants now. A burger on the wharf tasted good!

We hopped back on a ferry for a 45 minute ride back to port. The wind was still fierce but the clouds were starting to part. The port is full of the usual shops lodged inside the old fort buildings. The art center was interesting to visit and notice of the Bermuda plein air event in November enticing. Maybe one day I'll return to paint!

Because of time and logistics we never got to the beach but now we have a reason to return.

I'm about out of minutes and George is done too so no more posts. We'll catch up at home. Two more sea days then we fly.
