Our ship, The Corinthian, was waiting for us in Seville on the Guadalquivir River. Being a small ship, only 89 passengers max we could dock right in Seville unlike the bigger cruise ships who have to tender in. I was amazed at how spacious my cabin was. Pure luxury as far as I was concerned.

We made several trips in to Seville, some on our own some guided. We visited the Real Alcazar which is the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe today. Fascinating knowing that you are walking the same hallways where Catherine of Aragon played as a child. The gardens were exquisite, and much of the original moorish architecture remain even after being reclaimed by the Spanish kings. The cathedral with it’s beautiful bell tower is the final resting place of Christopher Columbus confirmed by dna in 2006. Here in Europe he is still considered a good guy and revered by the Portuguese and Spanish.

I'm a traveler, not as frequently as I would like , but I plan on doing more. After working full time at Mount Rainier National Park during the summer of 22 I have decided to retire completely and forever. Prior to that I was semi retired as a Wedding Officiant I officiated at about 20 weddings a season, and with my small delivery service I handled the distribution of a local high-quality Home and Garden magazine .
Prior to my "semi retirement" I was in corrections and before that I owned and operated a bail bond agency.
I now plan to travel to new places and exciting places, getting ready to do that as a solo as the Senior is no longer with me, his choice, and I am OK with that. For hobbies I'm a reader and love my kindle. And I enjoy writing.
