Trip of a lifetime Falmouth, England

People catching a bite to eat at a downtown coffee house.
I love the fact that there is always lots of color as you look down a row of houses.The countryside is beautiful here and once again we are blessed with a clear day.



We did not tour this castle because we will be doing a castle tour or two with Jim and Jane.




Guinness everywhere.

This was actually a personal residence in town.


Downtown Falmouth about every third shop was a bakery. It was difficult to get very far fast under those circumstances.



These two did a great imitation of the Everly Brothers.


This is a fig filled bar which was out of this world.


One of many bakeries.



We are now up to May 19th. We arrived early in the morning and instead of rushing into town we decided to catch up the washing and ironing in their laundry room. Of course, the reason for doing it that morning was because we thought everyone else would be going in town right away.
As it turns out a lot of other people had the same idea. We were able to get it all done and then we went into town. This is a port that had to Tender us in. It was about a 20 min. boat ride in and back. Another day of good weather. It's been cool but no rain. God has been good. We plan to pack when we get home late afternoon because tomorrow we go to Paris and it will be a very full day. We're assuming we won't feel much like packing by the end of the day. One more day and I'll finally get to see Jane.

Most of the ship excursions today were to Cornwall but we decided to just tour Falmouth. You really have to pick and choose your excursions because they can really add up. Lee and I have done most of our touring on our own. After all, when we get off the ship we still have a month of touring ahead.

Tonight is lobster dinner and a really good show so it will be the perfect end to another wonderful day.
