view from my window in New Orleans. Of course this is not a ship view. Taken a few minutes ago it places me firmly on land and I've been working almost all day to catch up on a week of internet deprivation. I know its supposed to be good for me to be away from…

no more posts from sea.
I missed the blog last night, due to slow internet. Well that was my excuse, but in fact, I also sort of hit the wall after dinner. I did a bit of a fun run for 4 miles to find the camera shop… I’m not used to such energetic enterprises loaded down with the back…
