@YVRteacher  Enjoying your review and wonderful photos.  May I ask what you use to take them and how you make your photo collage?

Hi! Thank you for reading!

 

I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max and don’t do any filtering or editing before posting except sometimes I use Markup to cross out names and personal identifying details.

 

To make the photo collages I use the free version of the MOLDIV app.

Where’s dad when you need him?

 

So cozy and vibrant 

 

Found a tiara for formal night in a vintage store.

To quote Amy, “Oh, oh, a tiara. Put it on me, put it on me.”

That was a full walk-in refrigerated room within the grocery store. There was a produce room, a meat room and a dairy room in addition to all the regular aisles. I always take a photo of yoghurt in Iceland because it is such a part of the culture.

 

See what I did there?😂

 

Cute. yogurt, shmogurt.  Culture, Kultur.  But...I am still dealing with Phallological Museum,,,  no pictures?  had to google it since I didn't believe myself.

j/k ... just kidding, but ..."shove"? - and the OP did state the 'old, old' man didn't even have a plate ... well, did she?  or just blocking the view of anyone else who wanted to see the food and the placard? touching, I agree, is uncalled for, but I would like to review the security footage before passing judgement on the 'old, old' man

OP said he shoved her, then shoved her again.

Not sure if that will measure up.

A propos of chocolate.  I purchased some when I was in Iceland last year and didn't care for it at all.  I suppose I'm a fanatic Belgian chocolate addict, such as Neuhaus.

After the tattoo I went to Bónus supermarket to buy Omnom and chocolate covered liquorice. My bag was heavy and my arm was a little sore so I walked down to the waterfront.

Last night was really fun! 
A new comedian

 

boarded in Reykjavík and I enjoyed the first show so much I went back to the late show. In between shows I went to “Do You Know Your Cruise Staff” which is nothing like it sounds.

 

A nightcap involving a hot toddy happened. Favourite bartender gave us chocolate caramels.

 

I have finally adjusted to the time change and I found the ketchup in Horizon Court. It took 13 days!

 

This piece of art in Reykjavík sums up the day

Day 15 and we are at sea

an old, old man came and full on side-shoved me. I didn’t budge so he shoved me again.

That is straight up assault. I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a butthead.

@YVRteacher  fantastic pics!  Really enjoying your review.

Hi Sweetie,

As always, prayers for you and for Dad.

Another Heat Dome has settled over the Pacific Northwest.  Forecast calls for record setting heat through late Monday evening.  Lots and lots of smoke in the air-- way too many wildfires (not enough firefighter, equipment or money).

 

BIG BIG BIG BIG HUG

 

Love and prayers always,

 

Mandy

Not unless Pat Fish was a Viking navigating the Arctic waters.

i have hit the point in the cruise where I don’t know what day it is and that is the best feeling; I get to read all day if I choose.

 

After a small breakfast in Horizon Court (it was too busy and swirling with hungry cruisers to take photos) I went to Good Spirits for a vanilla bean latte and stayed there until 3:00pm. I have a vague recollection of someone saying something to me but I was engrossed and enthralled with my book.

 

There was a break for Prosecco with pineapple to rest my eyes for a moment

 

Fortunately I finished just in time for afternoon arts and crafts.

 

Unfortunately the activity was card making and I finished my card before the class even started

 

so I decorated the front and the back of the envelope.
 

Afternoon tea called, but softly.

 

Cheese fries harkened me over in a bolder way.

 

It’s a good thing I didn’t try these 15 days ago because they are so good I would have wanted them every day. I have only had cheese fries twice: once in New Orleans in March when that was the only vegetarian food I could locate and here on the Island Princess. Cheese fries are a bowl full of comforting deliciousness.
