Friday July 19, 2024

Friday was pretty much a laid back day, again. The staterooms have large screen TVs so we were able to stay abreast of the Republican Convention, as well as other items around the world. The paid excursion we were on took place in private homes, so there were morning and afternoon times to go. We were scheduled for the afternoon. It was one of the highlights of our cruise. Going to a residential home and learning about making their nation’s beloved banitsa, and how the diet here helps some locals live to 100. We were welcomed by our gracious hosts that spoke English pretty well. They encouraged our group to join in making one of these cheese pies. Connie will endeavor to make one when we get home. We’ll see.
