Alright alright, it’s been a few days since I last wrote. In my defense I’m trying to acclimate to the my surroundings, the time change and my work space. I DID however complete a couple of video blogs that should be posted on the right side of this page or on my YouTube channel. I’m getting comfy with my roomie who we’ll call Richmond…she’s a Richmond grad so we’ll go with that. She’s a bit of a spreader of her things but we’ve gotten past her specialness for the most part with all other issues gone. So Bibbiana and I went with Taj to see some of the Rome history… it was AMAZING. That was the last time I got off the ship but I have truly enjoyed the view from the ship the past few days.
Can’t wait for this cruise to be over… special is the term that I would use for it. I’m going to be jamming to Jimmy Cliff’s “I can see clearly now the Rain is gone”. The rain so to speak would be the guests on this cruise. Whew… new peeps yahoo!!! I might be singing a different tune at the end of the evening tomorrow but right now I’m ready for Med cruise 1 to be done!
I took a great nap this afternoon and Bibby and I are headed out for a bit this evening. Not too late though because I would like to head to be and be able to be fresh at work in the morning. Going to go to the helm sometime tomorrow I think and look at some books to check out and/or read. I can’t wait to learn something new here. Senor and some peeps are headed to Camp Nau tomorrow…a bit sad I can’t go but man it’s going to be amazing for them. I think my word of the day is AMAZING, I keep using it so I’m going to own it. Anywho, sites and sounds of Europe are amazing. We took the subway in Rome… felt a lot like NYC… a bit cleaner I suppose but NYC none the less. Got lost on a commuter train …didn’t know where the hell we were. That was fun. Taj and Bibby and I were walking back and forth. Taj dropped her shot glass that she bought which sucks so she’ll have to get another Roma shot glass. The Trevi fountain was also pretty amazing. When I walked through the buildings and saw it… words escape me for the first impression. The intricate carvings of the statues and the movement of the water…breathtaking...the ambiance; I do believe I got a little teary while there. The realization of a life long dream is something I don’t think I was ready for. New Adventures: No Regrets!
