I am finally getting some time to write about the wonderful trip we took in May. After getting back, I pretty much immediately flew to Michigan to help babysit for two consecutive weekends. So fun of course, but it feels good to be back to normal.
We boarded the ship after flying from Tampa to Montreal to Barcelona and after lunch napped to be ready for the first night. There was a cocktail party for the Michigan State Alumni group we were a part of and it was fun to meet some fellow Spartans. We had our first dinner in the dining room with a view of departing the port. The cruise line we were on was smaller and offered a bit more luxury, so the food and service were top notch. I was a big fan of the desserts!
The first morning’s shore excursion was the small Spanish island of Menorca and it was simply beautiful. On a sunshiny day, we wandered amongst the whitewashed buildings at our own pace. We visited the highest point (Monte Toro) with stunning views. At this spot, as well as throughout the other places we visited, the flowers and the blue, blue water had me speechless. My first day in Europe had me fascinated and looking forward to France next.
