It was wonderful because we met a lovely couple from England named John and Dawn. It was so much fun visiting with them that we had two rounds of stout and a couple hours of conversation. Unfortunately for Anh, she went shopping while I visited with them. What delightful people! John is a retired dentist and Dawn is retired from managing the office. They have been travelling since they retired several months ago. We talked at length about politics and religion. We discussed the English reformation and John was well versed in the topic.
I'm not sure what everyone else did today. We followed the footsteps on the map around town until we got to the mall. Anh bought a dress or something. I looked at a drone they were practically giving away for $3,000. Of course, I consider it a successful day if I avoid buying unnecessary stuff. But it was very cool and I was tempted (yet without sin).
Cairns is a tourist town. So we did tourist stuff.
Ron Sr. went snorkeling with Ron Jr., Donna, Carol, and Roger. Can't wait to hear the report. Hope all went well.
We went to the botanical gardens and saw lots of cool plants. Walked a lot!
We had lunch at a VN restaraunt. Anh had Bun Thit Nuong and I had Pho Ga Nha and a Cafe Sua Da.
After all the walking, I'm anxious to get home and order a massage chair.
Called Vergil and visited briefly. I'm looking forward to seeing him when we get home. I'm also mindful that we've been gone a long time. I miss our church and am looking forward to getting home.
Don't misunderstand, I love the cruise and all the people we have grown fond of on the ship. We have the better part of a month before we land in LA.
