Latest report cruzer Yesterday at 11:39 AM We’ve essentially achieved a state of Zen and settled into our normal pattern. Lunch is our big meal of the day, a swim or two is a daily necessity, and I’m on a carb watching regimen, so subbing veggies for starch, and cutting way down on bread and croissants. Oh, I’m now taking daily walks on the beach.

The temperatures are pleasant, with a mix of sun and clouds, brief showers, a nice breeze, and the sunsets kinda undramatic. Water temp is probably around 85.

Wednesday’s lunch was at Le Taitu, where I had the pork loin in a mustard sauce and Mrs. Cruzer had her usual chicken breast in a blue cheese sauce (extra sauce, please). Picked up some cheeses, chorizo, and dates at Bacchus’s Epicerie, and some other essentials at Super U.

Thursday’s lunch was at Le Bistro Nu. We split the smoked tuna/trigger fish entrée, Mrs. C had a Ceasar Salad, and I opted for the Tuna Tartar off the specials board. I was allowed to sub a vegetable medley for the white rice, and very pleased with that. Arthur is a very accommodating host. I’d also brought a big of kibble for the resident cats, who told me they hadn’t eaten in weeks, if not months, but Mrs. C. saw them dining at the outside tables. Cats Lie! But they devoured the food in mere seconds.

I had some Bouchot mussels for dinner at Sunset Cafe. I haven’t had them for a while, and they were as tasty as ever. I forgot to take pictures.

Life is very pleasant.

Today we’re off to Champagne, and tomorrow is Le Tropicana (if they’re open)

And at Carol’s request, I have some pictures of the new, upstairs bar.

Enjoy your Independence Day.

Prague & Bucharest kenmoore 07/03/2025 08:30 PM My wife and I and another couple are taking a Viking cruise in August from Vienna to Bucharest. Before we board our boat, we will be spending 3 days in Prague. After the cruise, we will be spending an additional 3 days in Bucharest. Does anyone out there have any recommendation for either of the two cities. I'm sure the Viking cruise line will have some delightful suggestions, but I would like to hear from others who have been there.

Thanks.

1st Day cruzer 07/02/2025 03:16 PM The airport Gods are mollified. We arrived yesterday, cleared the kiosks within 15 minutes, got our bags within the next 10, picked up our car at ACE(Safari) and made GCBC within an hour. It was Emancipation Day on the Dutch side, and traffic was light on both sides.

Had enough time to unpack before hitting the guest mixer for a wine and some snacks. Had a "special order" dinner courtesy of Sabrina and was in bed by 8:30 as I'd only had 2 1/2 hours of sleep the night before (had a 2:45 am pick-up to DFW). Everything seems in order, and the cats are happy we're here.

Haven't done anything yet, and the plan is to do as little as possible. Lunch today will be at Le Taitu, and we'll get some essentials from Bacchus's deli. Might hit Carl's tonight for a light meal, but might not. Just so many decisions a person can make in a day.

Here's some of my minimal pictures.

August orient beach miacpl 07/01/2025 02:48 AM We just got back a few weeks ago and are looking for a return trip. We are thinking of booking a last-minute trip in August a few days before leaving so long as the weather is fine. I have heard because of hurricanes August is a good time for residents and businesses to vacation. I know the owner of l’atelier in OV is closed in August. How is the village at orient during this time?
