07/20, Boston, Mass.: Stayed with friends in Cambridge, just inland down the Charles River from Boston proper, founded in the 1630s by Puritans, home of both Harvard (America’s first college) and MIT universities. So smart. Went to port. Didn’t see any tea in the harbor. Hah. Boarded the ship, met the Cruise Director and Hotel Manager. Explored the ship, the MS Rotterdam, one of Holland America Line’s medium sized vessels. Ready to set out to sea, look for whales and dolphins, and meet some good folks.
–ready to feel and smell the brisk ocean breezes
~ We feel giddy w/anticipation, recalling 107:23-28, “They who go down to the sea in ships… they see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep…”
