Boy, it is hot

 As I write this in July, it is 101 F here in Richmond.

Sweetie and I had a great time in Ireland on our barge trip along the River Shannon. We met six very interesting folks: a married couple consisting of one 30-year Canadian army veteran and one 30-year Canadian air force veteran and a couple consisting of one 32-year US Marine Corps 3-star general (retired), and his fairly new wife, and finally one couple from Cleveland who were retiring from their textiles company. We all got along very well.

We did the same trip as the last time we were on the Shannon Princess and it was just a good as that time.

We are preparing for our next trip coming up this October when we travel for a 15-day land tour/cruise in Japan. I hope to have an extensive write up for that trip.

In the planning stages are our 2024 trip from Lisbon to Bacelona with stops in the Madeira Islands, the Canary Islands, and Morocco.  Should be fun.

Finally, we are tentatively planning an England barge trip on the Thames River in 2025.
