Leaving Cartegena, Columbia















It’s the day after Easter Sunday, April 13, day 11…as we go thru the locks of the 100 year old panama canal…

We learned tonight by email of the passing of our dear friend Muffy Hayden on Easter. Our wishes and sad condolences are passed on to Skip and the entire family…What a shock!!! She was the greatest lady and a greater mom…We loved her…We will always remember our Holland American Cruise with her and Skip through the Baltic and the Mediterrean in 2006. So sorry and shocked…Hang in ther Skip, I know you are going thru a very rough time as well…We are praying for you…

Life, however, goes on and Liz and I enjoyed the canal, it took all day to traverse the 50 miles, very interesting and probably the greatest engineering project ever on Earth….Had a good time in Panama, but the next stop might prove even more interesting….Cartegena, Columbia, tomorrow morning..

May Muffy rest in peace….

We are now in Cartegena, took a taxi tour and liz is shopping and I am interneting…I love it…with a local beer called Aguila…Connected to CABLE…beautiful and historic town…big wall protects it from those nasty Brits and Frenchmen…Our taxi driver is Mestico…and loves OBAMA…All is good….May even buy a panama hat…Next two days at Sea..

Will meet Dave & Margie in Florida, Friday…

Will try posting a few more pics and videos on Picasa?? Winning lately in Blackjack…


Bye for now....Liz and Dick

  3. So sorry to hear about Muffy! Let me know if I can do anything for Skip. She was so darling and I have noticed the pictures you have of her on this site.

    Say hi to Marge and Dave!

    Glad you are having fun.

    Love, Laura
