Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

Panama Canal, Day 13

Tonight is 11 February: a couple of milestones!
Addison is 4! wow. Here's hoping Ash and Paul can give her a hug and a kiss from Grandpa and Grandma Dickson! We have been thinking about her.
We just left seeing Mark! We got to the pier in Cartegena, Columbia, a couple of hours earlier than planned and had the opportunity to see a couple of the local sights around the docks...taxi drivers that would NOT leave you alone, hawkers of various junk stuffs that would follow you everywhere, and then we met up with Mark! Was great to see him, spent several really fun hours together, and saw old town Cartegena up one side and down the other. Visited a couple of museums inside the old walled city, hired a guide for the Inquisition Museum which dated from 1622, all the good stuff. Finally got back to the ship by a little after 11 before the gang-way went up. Now we're under power already, leaving the harbor. Thank You Mark for a really good time in Cartegena!! The weather, incidentally, was wonderful, but was too hot and steamy for this desert rat. Reminded me of Charleston SC in June-August!
Now we have 3 days at sea, heading North by North-East, for Miami. Get there early morning on Tuesday I think, then to airport, then to Houston, then to Tucson. whew.
Love to all, thinking about each and every one of you guys, DAD/UR
