   L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣  L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

| I'm on a cruise? WTF ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 30DBC prompt: Design your own week-long cruise vacation. What would you do? eat? See? Is there a theme? Let your imagination run wild. Argh... the only reason I'd go on a cruise is to go places I couldn't otherwise (like Road Scholars). A week? What could I possibly do in a week? So I'll write an anti-cruise entry:  I promise I won't eat all the food that's in front of me. Jamaica? Yes, I'd get off the ship but there some places in the world where I don't feel safe. Jamaica is one of them. Could I go to the Dominican Republic instead?  I don't party. Philippinos I've met are among the friendliest people in the world but I'm not into beaches and people who hang out on them. Will there be time to visit Northern Luzon? Maybe lunch with a friend in Manila?  Eu posso falar português... mais só um poquinho. Brasil is a huge country. Merely stopping in at Rio? I'd rather wander around Florianopolis or visit friends in São Paolo. How about up your Amazon to Manaus?  I stay in hostels but sharing a small cabin? Yes, I've been to Norway. Love Norway. And the views are great from the ferries, trains, speedboats and buses but I'd have to rob a bank to be able to afford my own room on a cruise.  Maybe tour the Mediterranean? I am not used to dressing up and mingling with the upper-class. I might like talking to the staff though. As with all the other places, there's little I could see of Italy from a cruise ship that I couldn't see from terra firma or a local ferry.Sound whiny! You bet-cha. You do not want ME on YOUR ideal cruise.  However, a Road Scholar or National Geographic cruise might be okay because they attract a crowd that's more interested in nature or culture than eating and partying or lounging on deck getting second degree burns. Plus it's one way to see St. Helena and Antarctica! But even their cruises are far too expensive. The around the world trip with RS is over $400/day. Many cruises are around $100/day which is a good deal for conventional vacationers and tourists. I'm not conventional... and I'm a landlubber. So, see y'all somewhere where there's lots of land in all 4 directions as far as the eye can see. Peace, Kåre 5.juni.2019 102.536 |
