Actually, it’s Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S. but I suspect
most people don’t remember it. It’s an
important day in our family history because my parents got engaged the next
day, Dec 8. They were living in Washington, DC and my dad was in the Army
Reserves. They were sure he would be called to active duty and they were right.
Today we went rolled into Cadiz with our friends, Don and
Sandie from Tennessee. We had a goal to visit the big cathedral that we could
see from the Lido deck on the ship. We heard there was a big outdoor market. It’s
true but it turned out to be closed on Monday. However, we saw some cool places
and I ended up shopping for a few things.
It was cool again today and I needed a neck scarf. I could
have brought one but I really did not believe it would be cold enough. I think
I am cold because I am on the scooter. Walking keeps the blood pumping. So I
bought one that goes with the pink jacket I bought on board the ship. Three of
us bought the same pink jacket and say that we belong to the Pink Ladies Club.
There is a lot of Moorish influence in Cadiz so I choose a wall of tile and
posed in front of it wearing my new scarf.
I also bought some earrings for my granddaughter and a necklace
for myself. Bill says this picture looks like an angry ISIS caricature.
This is monument that I could see from the ship.
Here is a beautiful square just a short distance from the ship in Cadiz.

There are some pretty cool bridges everywhere in the world except the U.S.
A nice fountain near the dock.
They really have some strange art here. I think this is part of an intestine.
This is one of the interesting cornerstones.
