Our Last Days in Europe

Our time is coming to an end.
We really enjoyed our time in marseille , France. We went to a quaint village, on the way were rolling hillsides and green vineyards. Every where you go they give you wine with lunch, they say it is cheaper than water. We had some free time in aix en province. we ordered our own lunch , which was quite an experience. I almost ended up with onions on lettuce for a salad of the day.
We left the ship this morning and are wandering around Barcelona, Spain. the architecture is so different here, very ornate buildings kind of like you would see at Disneyland with glazed tile roofs and almost a cartoon style, yet very stately. We hope to include many pictures later, but where we find internet it isn't always possible.
We will fill in more blanks when we are back in the U.S.
I think what has impressed me the most is how many ancient civilizations had things that are so familiar to us, lots of marble and building materials we treasure today. Also how different our culture is from many of these countries

More when we get back , we are due home Aug 11
-Bye Carolyn and Denny

I'm sure you guys hated having to have wine all the time. It must have been horrible! ;-)

Can't wait to see the pictures.
