Today was a lazy day. Everyone seemed to get a late start, and breakfast was rather quiet. We found out that Coach Zebet had arranged for us to go on the 2 pm river cruise, so we all came in early for lunch. The roast chicken and rice were as good as always.
The cruise was very nice. We sat below deck this time, where the coaches met on our last cruise. We could go out the front or sit below at almost water level. This time the boat didn’t turn around at the monastery, but went several miles beyond before turning around.
After the cruise, everyone pretty much went to take a nap until dinner time. Though they’d die rather than admit it, all of the athletes have gotten accustomed to napping from 2 to 4. We met at 6:30 and went as a team to Demera, our favorite pizza joint. We have been there so many times, the waitress pretty much knew our order, though Sheaffer and I mixed her up a bit by ordering pasta, rather than any of our normal dishes. The first time we had her, she made a mistake with Blake’s order, but she has never gotten it wrong again; she seems to take pride in getting everything just right.
Sheaffer waited with me while I stopped and bought a drink. I drew his attention to the haze covering the mountains and how it seemed to be moving. He grinned and said, very politely, “Mrs. Lana, that’s rain.” And then the heavens opened up. LOL It was a beautiful rain, one we would have loved to have had in GA last year. It cleared the air of pollen, cooled things off, and, hallelujah!!! shut the dogs up. It was the best night’s sleep I’d had since I got here.
It's a rainy night in... Orsova...
Just before bed, Sheaffer came running into the meeting room to tell us that we are leaving Tues. night, not Weds., as we had thought. This makes more sense as we will probably travel thru the night on Tues., then stop in Germany for Weds. night. We have enjoyed our visit here, but we are looking forward to seeing someplace new before we go back home. Heather and Holly were the only ones who weren’t ready to go; they have made a bunch of friends here, and they hate to leave them. Hopefully, these friends will be among those coming to stay a LCKC in October.
Take care,
Marcy
