We were at a local restaurant in Austin, and during our meal a waiter came up to my wife and said "you sailed on Crystal." Of course we struck up a conversation and he worked on the Symphony from 2015 until the ship was shut down in March 2020. That is amazing! So glad he is doing well!

Rare travelberlin Posted July 22, 2022 #2702 Share Posted July 22, 2022 How about a small cruise on Lake Brienz? Ivi 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted July 22, 2022 #2703 Share Posted July 22, 2022 That looks so nice! I love lakes like that. I've only been to Switzerland at the Zurich airport. Still hoping to get there to really see the area on land. ~Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have a fantastic train system. And the Swiss people are so friendly 🤩. I hope you can make it one day. Plan at least one week and concentrate on one region. We have been coming in the last years every year to do some hiking. This year we are in the Bernese highlands. Ivi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted July 22, 2022 #2705 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Hi Ivi. I was actually thinking of visiting by train so I can see all the sights. I love to drive but obviously miss out on seeing everything if I'm watching the road as I should. My land travel style is also to concentrate on one area for at least several days. I can't imagine ever taking an "If it's Tuesday it must be Belgium" type of trip! I hope to get back to Europe as soon as all the airport/transport mess gets straightened out. 2023??? Enjoy your time there in Switzerland! ~Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted July 23, 2022 #2712 Share Posted July 23, 2022 OK. So let's talk sports. For those of you who are "American" Football Fans (this is real football) did you know the season started last night with the New England Patriots getting blown out by 23 points. Oh, I am so sorry. I am mistaken. This was actually a baseball game. It was the Boston Red Sox and they lost a close game to the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 28 to 5. When I say a close game I mean as it started it was 0 to 0. Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to admit that the "Inside the Park Grand Slam" was more than a little cringe-worthy to watch!!😁 Edited July 23, 2022 by Roland4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think the other teams haven't "cheated", I've got a bridge to talk to you about buying!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 24, 2022 #2725 Share Posted July 24, 2022 So I have a couple of observations. This says Men working. Is this how men work? I ask because where are the men? Maybe, having coffee. Or maybe a beer. My other question is if there was one or more women on the work crew would the sign still say men working? 🤔 I suspect if it said women working we might see some work getting done.
