Rouen day 2

Cool morning, hot day. We went into town, found the train station and took a train to La Havre — a waste of time — and then back. Tonight is the big deck party, which will be some fun, perhaps a lot. We have enjoyed Azamara, though not quite as rabid as others. There are lots of diehard fans, none more so than a couple we met at our wine pairing dinner — gay couple in their 40s, I think, who have been on 60 cruises, 18 of them with Azamara. They now refuse to go on any other line and have 10 more cruises this year and 22 next year, already booked! One is retired, the other still works, but he can work in his stateroom (a suite, of course) — he does something in financial management, with clients. They live in Henderson, NV, but apparently that doesn’t mean much in terms of residency — I think Scott said they were taking the month of Sept off from cruising; otherwise they have and will be on the sea most all of the rest of the time. Wow, that’s diehard! We have had lots of fun, met some swell folks, and now it is almost over. We have some time in port tomorrow, then we sail for Southampton. I say what day we’d be home, but I don’t remember what the calendar looks like anymore. Laird has tons of pictures to share, so get ready.
We read about the fire in NM, what a bummer that is — is there going to be any wilderness left in the state?????? Any trees??? Scary that this is just May.
Hope all is well with everyone. Partyingly yours, l&j
