Today's stop is in Corsica. We arrived at 11 am so we had a laid back morning with a shuffleboard game. I'm sorry to say that Dennis has taken the last couple of games, but I feel a resurgence coming on!
Ajaccio, Corsica's capital is a nice city on the island's east coast. It's a mix of city and resort town. Lots of foreign visitors from all over. We went by Napoleon's house, but he wasn't home so we went on. Found a beautiful public beach on the edge of town near the cathedral. Nice sand and clear water. The best yet! After the beach, we went in search of lunch, which proved a harder task than you'd think. Nothing was looking quite right until we found a great sandwich shop outside the cathedral, which we had just visited. I guess it pays to go to church! Dennis went in search of a Napoleon tchotchki to share with his lecture-goers, and I am doing my blog duty. Back to the ship soon for a dip in the pool. I wonder what the drink of the day is? Dennis speaks at 5:15. Tomorrow he has been conscripted to be a judge in the Royal Princess version of Dancing with the Stars. He will be playing the Bruno Tonioli part. Should be amusing.
Now I need to cancel our reservations in Tarquinia and make train reservations for Florence. We decided to head stright there since we weren't sure our big American suitcases would fit in Emilia's small Italian car. And now we can have her cook for us at her restaurant that night. Yum!
Au revoir!
