Folks:
Who wants to come on a cruise with me? We can take pictures, discuss the big issues, and learn art history from my mom (studied at Radcliffe then Harvard). We’re booked to depart Lisbon on September 6 and visit the Azores, Madeira, and the Canary Islands. We return via Casablanca, arriving back in Lisbon September 19 (details).
It is kind of expensive, but mom isn’t getting any younger so I think it is worth it! Crystal is supposed to be a high quality cruise line. Maybe they’ll be able to make a decent donut…

Do you want to spend 2 weeks on a cruise ship with mom?

Why are you constantly avoiding Sicily? https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1s_w1iiVfCiKiE1ImoE7K4mR-58c&ll=37.74947399630613%2C13.943657199999961&z=8
Sicily is on my bucket list! But it doesn’t seem like the kind of place to go on a cruise. Isn’t there an endless list of important ancient Greek sites? How long should one budget to spend on the ground in Sicily? And what would you recommend doing other than the historical stuff?
Sounds like fun, but I will probably be in Yellowstone during that time. I just watched a documentary on food in Morocco, looks really delicious. There is a lot of interesting Jewish (Sephardic?) history in Morocco as well.
Enjoy you trip and share the pictures!
Seems fun but a bit expensive for a poor european. However, I might well be in the Canary Islands when you land there, so we could then meet up for lunch or suchlike. Let’s see how things look a bit closer to target.
