The work between travels

 

After returning from Europe it's back to retirement work.  Replacing the brick window sills with stone.  Never thought retirement would be such hard work.

River Cruise through Germany

A high priority on the bucket list was a river cruise through Europe.  This was checked off in June as a dream fulfilled.  We spent three days in Munich.  Then took a train to Passau where we boarded the ship for a 10 day cruise to Basel.  After that we flew to Berlin and spent time with various friends/relatives in various places in the north of Germany.  We had an amazing trip.

Had a great Florida visit

We drove down in the snow on February 21st.  We dad to go to the south end of Georgia before all traces of the snow disappeared.  Florida was welcoming with 80 degree weather.

My sister has a wonderful place in Naples.

The weather in Naples usually hit 80 during the day.  The ocean temperature was about 69F.  A bit chilly but swimmable.  The community had a great heated pool.

Going home we stopped by Cocoa Beach and the Kennedy Space Center.

Next stop was St. Augustine where I charged up with a drink out of the "Fountain of Youth"

It was a cold day there but the scenery made up for it.

Nothing too fancy yet just trying things out. This will be an interesting hobby.
