Almost over

Bummer, the cruise is almost over. Today in Cologne with the most fantastic cathedral I’ve ever seen! Amazing! Sorry for all my friends, but I’ve bought almost nothing — a little something for Theodore and Sia and three books about the cathedral and that’s about it. I don’t see anything changing in Amsterdam.

Tonight is the gala goodbye dinner, so I got my hair cut. And creamed and curled, teased, bunched and sprayed. I look pretty cool!

Tomorrow we’re in Amsterdam, have a canal tour, a windmill village tour and Amsterdam by Night tour, including the red light district — who doesn’t do that??? Next day off the boat. We’re all hoping getting to our hotel will be a hell of a lot easier than getting to the ship at start! I leave Monday with a really stupid schedule: back to Zurich for overnight, fly to Frankfurt, Atlanta, Denver and ABQ. We’ve had a great time cruising down (up) the river — I’ve loved being with Noekie and I love her friends — a great vacation, except for that flight home, or rather those five flights home.

Daniel, I’ll try to remember to tell you what dinner is tonight. I got your email. Others had trouble commenting, I don’t know why.

Have a Gala evening!
