TikiAno I'm old enough to have watched that show when it wasn't a rerun!

YOU GUYS ALL ROCK!

=======================================

I took 818 photos so I am going to just show a few of them so that I can get back to posting my art.

The trip was a cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Montreal, Canada.

Our first surprise was when we were picked up to go to the Westin on the beach we were instead taken inland to a hotel in the middle of nowhere. It worked out because we got up at 3 am and went we got there we had dinner, showers and went to sleep.

Now it was time to start the trip and this wall art at the hotel was a fun reminder to be adventurous.

We waited at the hotel for the bus to the ship called the Veendam. The same ship and room that we went to Mexico on in the past.

The whole trip was windy and very cold. First vacation where Dan wasn't in shorts.

Often they blocked the doors on the ship so we couldn't go on deck. We didn't want to be blown overboard. We just played chess. Dan won every game.

First excursion that wasn't cancelled due to weather was Boston.

We passed the spot where the Tea Party occurred. They even have the two ships there that lost the cargo into the bay.

The rain stopped just in time for us to walk past this old cemetary and on to the

Church.

Here is the steeple.

Inside the church were all these family boxes. The more you paid the closer to the front. Each family decorated their box. Ours would have been tikified.

We can now say we went to Harvard University. This statue of John Harvard isn't him. A student posed for the artist. Mr. Harvard was too busy. The feet have been rubbed shiny by people wanting good luck. We were told not to touch them because they are covered with germs. I obeyed. For those who didn't I went around and offered them hand sanitizer. Everyone said, thank you.

As a science major in college I respect scientists and was happy to see that they are not giving up on informing the public.

We drove over the finish line for the Boston Marathon. It is being preserved as a memorial.

Back on the ship they played the Boston Marathon movie. Well done and horrific.

This is the same spot we drove over.

====================

I have gone back to clay work today. I will post all of my trip and then I will start on the Wish List and crawl mug photos again.

Thank you all for the visits. I am so thankful to have you all in my life. Wendy
