Today we passed through the Pillars of Hercules :) I can now say I have seen Morocco and Spain at the same time!!! We also stopped in Gibraltar to refuel which took 6 hours, that is a lot of gas, glad that isn't my gas tank, LOL. It was nice to sit out on the 6th deck at the aft of the ship to eat dinner and enjoy seeing land, mountains, boats and city's all around me. It was a bit hazy but the picture I took turned out pretty ok (that is the one that is posted ...

I thought, that is no big deal and remembered how much fun it was as a kid to look out the window, so I take my seat in the aisle which I don't mind either (I really just hating sitting in the middle)...

This morning when I was at the airport waiting for my flight I wrote a real nice long blog entry but somehow it got lost in cyber space. So I am now going to do a little recap. I am going to miss Boston! This city has really grown on my and I have come to absolutely love where I live.
