Anniversary Trip-Only a Few Pictures

We went on a Mediterranean cruise to celebrate our 25th anniversary.  Since returning we have had many problems with managing our digital pictures plus other assorted computer problems.  Walter took over 1,800 pictures and most of them are wonderful.  However I have not been successful in getting them onto a flash drive so that we could have them made into a DVD for permanent storage and ease of viewing.  This frustrates me beyond description.

Since it has been so long since we traveled, I decided to post just a few pictures for now.  Hopefully later on I will be able to organize them as I want and also put a few of our favorite photos on this blog.

We have a lot of things we enjoy doing while we are on a cruise ship.  We enjoy the musical shows that the cruise director provides, the karaoke and the food - so much food to choose from, both buffet style and formal dining.  I think Walter had escargot four separate times.



Formal Meals are One of Our Favorite Cruise Things

We had been outside Ravenna on this day.  We toured the Ferrari Museum where Walter bought the classic Ferrari-red polo shirt he is wearing to dinner.

The deep blues of the water and the sky are hard to describe without benefit of a picture.

Realizing a Lifetime Dream of Riding in a Gondola

Venice was wonderful.  We visited churches, plazas, a glass-making showroom and ate locally prepared food.  We over-nighted and went back to roam the town on our own the next day.  It was so relaxing and satisfying.  Every day we were in a different town until Venice.  The slower pace was just what we needed. 

Maybe we will enjoy the trip over and over again, if I can get the pictures organized as I want them.

Even if I never get that, I have the immense satisfaction that some of our dreams were fulfilled in those short 14 days.  God is good!
