Regular Monday stuff today - swimming, coffee, Aldi, WalMart (gasoline $2.92/gallon - the lowest we’ve seen it in a while). Bridge was fun, as usual, but I had some really awful cards. Oh, well - surely that will improve sometime.

We’ve signed up for an Adventures Afloat program with Road Scholar (successor to Elderhostel). The Voyage to Antiquity from Venice, through the Adriatic Sea, around the Italian peninsula, along the Riviera, ending up in Cannes. This is a part of world where we haven’t been. Obviously, we need to remedy this, and get a chance to see all that wonderful art and architecture and history.
