This post is not an homage to Steinbeck and his The Winter of Our Discontent it is a rather belated post that will attempt to capture our summer (post cruise)- truly one of complete content. I've tried to capture the summer by keeping track of the places we went, some of the people we saw and some of the things we did. Each item on the list could be accompanied by a lengthy summary with more detail, inside jokes, side-stories, etc. etc. etc (I"ll spare you that). And can you believe not a single photo of my own?? - I really thought I had taken at least a few pictures but my digital camera went straight from our arrival from Amsterdam to 1st day of school photos of the girls. What was I thinking....Anyway, here goes:
