A sea adventure in my last vacations.  

I had never done it until last January. I was quite worried that I would be seasick but my friend is a doctor and he said there were pills (I´m sure he forgot to take any but nothing happened). He also dismissed my age as a reason to say no (I´m 64 years old) saying that his cousin ( a seaman too) had I don´t know how many heart bypasses. So I Thought it was written in the stars. I survived and have many exciting things to tell.

My friend (and his wife who is more like a sister to me) are incredible people. I have never seen people so generous and thoughtful.
It was exciting and the moment was even scary. His cousin´s wife told my friend not to help as it could be dangerous for us. He replied that there was an unwritten law among seamen that they must help each other. And that was that. The captain is always right when you are on a ship.

People should apply the seaman's law in everything they do. It's good to help people on land or sea.

It is true, Jo. And I have the great honor of being a very close friend of this out of the world couple. They have done for my family and for many other people things noone generally does.

Thank u for my best response. Hope u have a great tuesday. Hope your mom & u are feeling better. hugs.

My mother is a lot better after the procedure. And I have to wait until March for my shoulder surgery as I will have to have guided exersises afterwards. My surgeon in going on vacation as many people here. But I´ll survive!
Hug!
I asked mylotters for some New Orleans dishes that are mentioned at Brenda Lee´s song: Jambalaya. But I searched more and I got wonderful recipes at the net.

Yes. That´s me sailing in my profile picture. I like to put a picture of my last vacations. It helps me remember that I click at PTC sites to go to places like that. For me Kunayala was very important as I felt I was stepping into the colombian writer´s book "100 years of solitude". García Márquez pictures Macondo in a very similar way as the houses I saw there. It was as if time had stopped before Christopher Columbus came to America. Awesome!

I saw dolphins and flying fish in this trip. I was awesome! I´m very happy that I can still have these experiences in life.
