Cobh, Ireland




 May Day-a lovely day to arrive in Cobh! Everyone is in a holiday mood-people are strolling with their babies, small children and dogs. A fair is set up on the waterside and the restaurants, streets, and pubs are crowded. It’s a lovely town with multi-colored houses and shops lining the promenade. John and I visited the Titanic Museum-we are kind of Titanic nerds and this was her last stop before heading to New York. One hundred and twenty three passengers emigrated here. The museum is very well done. Afterwards we had a refreshment at the local!

When I purchased a necklace, the man who sold it blessed me for buying from him!

John’s Birthday

 John’s 72nd birthday was celebrated yesterday at sea on the way to the Canary Islands. We had a lovely breakfast in the dining room, where the waiters sang Happy Birthday in Indonesian!

In the evening we ate at the Pinnacle Grill with friends and John had a special birthday cake. While we were eating , our room stewards decorated the cabin for another birthday surprise!
