In the last three years we’ve been to Costa Rica, New York City (multiple times), Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy , Lake George (NY), Turks and Caicos,… Read More »

Carole and I went on a cruise of Baltic countries between August 18 and August 27, starting in Copenhagen, Denmark and stopping off in Berlin, Tallinn, St Petersburg, Helsinki, and Stockholm. We took lots of photos, which we shall in due course inflict on you. But I wanted to share a quick little anecdote while it’s fresh in… Read More »
