In 2013 we discovered a book store in Portland ,not too far from the cruiseport Longfellow Books It had a very interesting selection.
I too would attempt to find book stores in every port I have ever been to.
In 1988 I wrote a book which has been out of print since 1990.Much to my surprise people tend to find copies in used book stores all over the US.
I am rooting for the ER doctor .My niece who is an MD in private practice was an ER physician for many years.I always root for those in the Medical profession. As I have many friends and relatives who were or are doctors.I worked with MD’s for more than 40 years.
I have only been seasick twice .My first cruise was so bad that my wife said never again.We tried a second time 21 years later and everything was great .The only other time I was seasick was briefly on a cruise 11 years ago.We never do cruises less than 14 days.
I am watching The Anonymous on Peacock.It is a Reality show with one person who won Big Brother and one person who was on Survivor,Australia and is related to a Survivor USA winner.There are 10 other players.The show is similiar to BB,Survivor ,The Circle and The Mole.
A very close friend of mine was a jazz pianist who often played alongside McCoy Tyner at Smalls Jazz Club on W.10 St.in Manhattan.
I am a huge fan of Jazz and more that once I have attended Jazz Festivals in Kemah,Texas where musicians from all over the world have appeared.
