Khios Greece

    Yesterday was a sea day and the whole ship seemed to be in a "sleepy" mood after the long days in Egypt.  There are only 1925 passangers aboard so the ship seems "empty" most days anyway.   The seas have been as flat as can be expected since we left Rome.  In a few minutes we head for Istanbul.

    We did manage to go to a dance lesson and attend a few

lectures but generally it was a peaceful day.  I really appreciated that.  I have been feeling a bit "off" for a few days.  All I want to do is sleep - which is what I did during the art auction.  We did attend the last show of Lenny Windsor.  We had seen him before.  He was a writer for the Benny Hill show and had some good stories to tell.  He was aboard on our trip last fall.  We did go to the line dancing hoedown last night but missed most of it as dinner was a bit late.
   

Local Beer

Today we did not take an organized tour, but opted instead to just wander around the small town of Khios.  It does have a world hertigage monistary but it did not seem exciting enough for us.  We did visit the local museum as well the the biggest Greek Catholic church in town.  We did end up at a sidewalk cafe and had a glass of "greek" beer.  I think I will pass on that when we get to Athens.  It was too bitter for my taste.
      Tomorrow is Istanbul.  We did not take an organized tour as we will be docked close to the sites and can take a shuttle if we don't feel like walking the short distance.  Weather continues to be warm and sunny.
