#579 Lisbon reunion

One of the best things about sailing on the MV Explorer is meeting great people from around the world.  Let's just say it.  It's the best thing.

If not for our shipboard connection, I don't think we would have ever had the chance to meet our Austrian friend Gerlinde.  And I'm so glad we did.  Gerlinda flew across Europe from Vienna to meet us upon our arrival in Lisbon, one of the oldest cities in the world. 

We had a stormy night sailing into port and thunderstorms were forecast for our visit, but Gerlinde provided the sunshine to our day!

Yours in traveling with friends,
Mary
