Catching Up

It is Thursday afternoon, September 7, and we are back in a hotel in St. John’s Newfoundland, having been booted off the ship at 8:30 am to make way for the next group of adventurers - when we left our cabin, the name card on the door had already been changed! 

We were very lucky to get a room at 9:30 am.

And now I can access this blogging app again.

Anne has come down with the same nasty malady that I am still trying to shake. We are treating it like a bout of flu and taking it easy, resting up for our flight to Montréal tomorrow. And glad to have missed the recent heat wave in Maryland. It looks as if we will return home to a rainy weekend.

So we ventured out for lunch (seafood stew with lots of cod) and spent the rest of the day in our room sleeping and reading. Dinner in the hotel dining room was not bad, though there is a reason why they only charge $5 US for a Tanquery and tonic - the notable absence of much gin.

I am going to post some short summaries of our days aboard the National Geographic Explorer, some of which will be a repeat of what I tried to send out in emails.
