Hola, amigos!! This is two days in one. Yesterday was a sea day -- as you can see from the greeting, we took a spanish lesson; also took a computer class on digital photography; then, since we worked sooo hard, we just had to have a massage!!! And you think all we do is eat on a cruise!!! Almost forgot, did manage a session in the fitness center!!

Today, was an early morning call. Sailed into Dubrovnik around 8am; headed out for a tour of the walled city (along with six million other tourists)!!! Visited the Franciscan and Dominican monestaries -- filled with art and relics; also visited the churches of St. Mary and St. Blaise (patron saint of the city) --- you can tell this was our religious day!!! Afterwards, we were treated to a show of folk music and dances. Dubrovnik is truly a beautiful city; directly on the Adriatic, there are some spectacular sights!!

After touring, we had lunch on the patio (gazing out over the serene Adriatic!!) at the restaurant Nautika; delicious seafood and wonderful company. When lunch was over, three of us headed back into old town and climbed the fortress wall and made a complete circle around the city (it reminded me of the Great Wall in China)!! Pretty soon will download some of the pix I've taken. Took the shuttle back to the ship; we sail for Corfu at 5pm. See Ya!
