This is just a quick post so I'm not terribly behind in writing. We had the last of our sea days on May 8 between Mallorca and Sète, France. From now on we have a port every day until I get off on Thursday and so time to write becomes more limited. In fact as I write this I just came back from a day in Cassis (it's late afternoon May 10 here). This cruise has really made me remember how much I dislike port intensive cruises.
Anyway, Thursday was a day at sea with all the usual sea day activities. It was quite a bit cooler than it had been but sunny. I played trivia and Name that Tune and we did well. I got more Seabourn swag to give away to staff onboard who take good care of me.
Yesterday we docked in Sète, France. I came here with Al 10 years ago and we went on a tour to Aigues Mortes, an old walled city. I was scheduled to go shopping with the chef but I had a bad night tossing and turning and when I looked out at 7 AM it was pouring rain, so I decided to go back to sleep and stay on the ship. These old European cities have lots of slippery stone streets and sidewalks and I really don't want to fall and break something. I took a few photos from the ship so you can see what Sète looks like but I can't say much more about it.

We did play the last of this series of trivia games and we won, but it wasn't a pleasant experience actually. There's someone on the team who takes it quite seriously. He got ticked off because the majority of the team had a different answer than his and his turned out to be right. Mind you, we won anyway, but he began cursing and being generally obnoxious. We start a new series today for the last few cruise days and I hope he doesn't come. The rest of us play for fun, not for blood.
I'll write about today's outing when I get a chance. Meanwhile ciao for now.

Hope you had a relaxing day on the ship, and that your next few days of trivia are more fun than cutthroat. I've learned this past week about MarineTraffic.com, a website where you can look at the current position of ships, which is pretty neat. I can see that you're off the coast near Toulon, France (at least when I looked). I tried to post a picture but can't figure out how to embed a picture file in the comments.
Can’t believe your cruise is winding down! So enjoyed traveling along with you!
