I have half a book from Project Gutenberg on it. I don’t think the mods will appreciate that much text in this post. It’s been modified for my text to speech reader. Here’s the first paragraph. We crossed the court of the water of life and mounted steps That led to a wide and impressive portico, tommy frisking ahead Of us in a most excited way for a dog of his experience. Evidently the water had produced its effect upon him as well as Upon his masters. This portico was in a solemn style of Architecture which i cannot describe, because it differed from Any other that i know. It was not egyptian and not greek, Although its solidity reminded me of the former, and the beauty And grace of some of the columns, of the latter. The profuseness And rather grotesque character of the carvings suggested the Ruins of mexico and yucatan, and the enormous size of the blocks Of stone, those of peru and baalbec. In short, all the known Forms of ancient architecture might have found their inspiration Here, and the general effect was tremendous. ---

"March 19, 2008, 6:30 p.m. Bridgetown, Barbados I know what you’re thinking. “Are these old codgers in bed already??” Well no, not really. We are resting up for a trip to the restaurant after a hot steamy day in Bridgetown. We’re both so sunburned from 5 continuous days in the sun, we are absolutely worn out. (You are now saying…‘ahh that’s just toooooo bad’ aren’t you). We slept in until 8:00 this morning. Went to the Garden café for a nice leisurely breakfast. I was a bit disappointed because they were out of ‘thinly sliced smoke salmon’, but I made up for it by having two biscuits with gravy and an extra eggs benedict…I showed them… Ginni always gets an omelet, and I think they must use 4 eggs in them, because I honestly think two people could get fed on them. We didn’t go ashore right away because we hadn’t planned any excursions other than wandering around town. When we did get off we took the shuttle bus down the pier to the main port exit. They have built a very nice tourist trap mall right at the end of the pier and you have to enter on one end and go to the other end, make a turn and go back to the other end before you can exit the building. A vendors dream if I ever saw one. Once out of the building, we ran the gauntlet of taxi drivers and tour guide offers and made our way to town. It is about a half hour (at our pace) to town, but it is along a nicely designed shoreline parkway. Once in town, we managed to get off the main drag, which was full of tourists (3 ships in port at the same time), and found a boardwalk area along the waterfront. It took us into a part of town that had a couple squares and the Barbados Parliament building. The guards at the gate told us that it is the oldest parliament building in the western hemisphere, at over 300 years old. We wandered our way into old city, where there were street vegetable markets and what I call odds and ends vendors all over. Managed to find a KFC of all things in the middle of all this, so we stopped and had a Pepsi. I was beginning to feel the heat, and the Pepsi helped me get back to normal. We did a bit more wandering, then found our way back to the boardwalk, then to the parkway and headed back to the ship. We got back here about 1:00, dropped our stuff in the cabin and went looking for food. We sat up on deck for a while. I edited some of my photos and Ginni read. About 4:00 I came down and tried to edit more photos but ended up falling asleep. The captain just came on the overhead and said that this evening we would be experiencing some long swells. I just felt us roll thru one. This could be a fun evening. Up until now we haven’t even noticed we were moving, as the seas have been running anywhere from 1 to 4 feet, which for a ship of this size is like sailing on glass. We are going to go to dinner about 7:30 this evening, then if nature will allow might go to the deck party. WHOOA, baby just took a nice roll…guess the captain knew what he was talking about. It’s now 10:37 p.m… We have returned from a show by one of the crew of the Jean Ann Ryan troupe. She’s an up and coming singer. We managed to snag one of the lounge divans at the back and watched from a prone position most of the time. As soon as the show ended we came back here to the cabin, put together all the things we need for our tour in the morning, took all our pills, and hit the sack. We have to get up at 6:30 in the morning so we can be sure to be ready to go ashore as soon as the gangway opens. Our tour starts at 8:30, and the ship isn’t due to arrive until 8:00. I have a feeling they will give us a few minutes leeway if we aren’t there on the dot. The ship isn’t rocking too badly, but occasionally it feels as though we hit a chuck hole, and everything shudders. Just as long as she doesn’t start slipping n sliding…that’s a sure recipe for sea sickness. Gotta catch some z’s. See ya tomorrow." My in-laws were on vacation and somehow didn’t email my hubby. ---
