COLD!!!! More beautiful pictures and historical narrative. No where did you tell the temperature, or I missed.it. Would you have really kayaked in that water? Burr!
What a beautiful big room. I believe I would have joined Sheila in that viewing spot. Does 'shimmer" mean you feel the boat crunching through the iceberg? what does it sound like.
Keep warm and enjoy!!
Correct Carol Ann Yes, when we travel through ice, we hear a bit of a crunch and the boat shakes a bit. Not a frequent event, however. Temp we guess has ranged 25-35F. It was above freezing south of the pole, which staff say they have never encountered before.
The. Best. News! This was the best blog post ever! I’m so glad y’all are going on your trip. Safe travels and I look forward to hearing from you!
Love to Bird and Handsome Pop

May the Force be with you!! Great Pics- that is where I’d love to go-just beautiful. Tell Bird she amazes me in sending cards from home yet she’s across the pond!! Love
Steep Beautiful!
Bet you were very proud of yourselves for mastering this trail!
The grass is so green and the rock so ragged. Have seen this many times on calendars, prints etc but, had no idea of where it was. Now I will always know where and someone who was actually there!!
All That glass I thought the picture of all the sections was something then I saw the one you said was the size of a tennis court. How many glassmakers do you think worked on all these windows? The round church is so precious in comparison to the size of the cathedrals. Glad to hear you will not relocate to England but, have enjoyed your visit.
OHHH!!! Beautiful description of four of the best days of your life!!! Sounds like an amazing time and beautiful memory. I continue to be amazed by the architecture and the awesome work it took to build these buildings and these mounds. Sheila, did you check out a good book?

Wonderful adventure Dear Bird and Pop,
Thank you for taking us on this vacation with you. I am enjoying the posts and pictures. Continued safe travels and hope to see you soon when you return.
All the best,
Gina
Frolicking Fun for Fiftieth I was thrilled to see the Blog Posts start back up as you take us along on your journey. John and I visited Stratford upon Avon in the mid ‘80’s. We saw a unique, wonderful production of Hamlet. It was only marred by John’s snores and my elbow to his ribs. Thank you for sharing the photos and experiences. Have fun, be safe and hope to see you soon!
Rush There were some very pretty pics here even though I just rushed through them! I think of Russia as dark and cold.
I really like the less ornate and " village" type pictures. St Issacs looks like the dome on GA capital.
Refined You mentioned people not being as refined in your last blog. The arbor and the people at Mossy Creek probably not on the refinement scale you have seen in Helsinki.
Happy 46th Happy, happy, happy 46th .and what a beautiful exciting way to celebrate...this trip looks fascinating...enjoy the jackets and cool weather...it is 97 degrees in central Georgis
