Special thanks, again to S.R. Calef for the ©2007 photos from his European cruise.

Disclaimer: The above photos are not mine, although I am grateful for such photos and the opportunity to share them, through this blog. I am not a world traveler. Not even close. On three separate occasions, did I travel great distances from my New England home. Are you ready? Mapleton, Maine - Mystic, Connecticut - Desmoines, Iowa - "that's all folks!" Seriously. So, I guess I'm living vicariously through the travels of others. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get me one o' them new-fangled digital cameras. Mustn't rush these things. Perhaps I'm still in mourning for my poor little dead Advantix camera... at some point, I shall move on.
