Kristy Moves to SLO!

We had a barbeque the day before Kristy left for Cal Poly. She was given a 'dorm' that is really a condo for transfer students. She and her 3 roommates have a living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms and each a private bedroom. Hers has a great view of the horse barn, pond, and hillside.
Annaka is from San Luis and Laura is from Minnesota. The fourth roommate is from San Clemente and hadn't arrived yet. This first week is WOW! - Week of Welcome. Classes don't start for another week so hopefully she'll have time to get settled in and make some friends. It's very quiet at home without her but we know she'll love this experience!

Cruising the Mediterranean

In honor of our 30th anniversary we splurged and went on a Mediterranean cruise! The whole experience was fantastic. Leaving from Rome, we visited Monte Carlo-Livorno, Italy-Barcelona-Palma de Mallorca-Tunisia-Palermo, Sicily and Naples. This first harbor is Monte Carlo. It was a spectacular day and we walked all over the city, gardens and ocean front.
This little village doesn't have cars, just boats! It was drizzly but warm. This area is called Cinque Terra because it is five lands that terrace the hillsides with vineyards. The last photo is a picture of the terraced hillsides with grapes ready to harvest the next week.
This is the view from the deck in our room as we were coming into Naples. We had lots of beautiful sunrises and sunsets on this trip!
