Hungry for Paris, Avalon Waterways, Capitol Hill B&B, Great American Roadtrip

As I mentioned, my wife Jean and I had a very enjoyable cruise on the Regatta, Oceania Cruise, from Venice to Barcelona for 14 days. Venice was totally overcrowded, including St. Marks Square and Dog's Palace. We also watched glass making on the Islands of Murano and Burano. Of course we snuck in a Bellini at Harry's Bar, where we said hello to Harry himself, who remembered us. In Dubrovnik, Croatia, we strolled the main street known as Stradun, and walked the walls. On the Greek Island of Corfu we enjoyed the most spectacular views, as we did on the Island of Capri and all along the Amalfi coast. The Vatican had out-of-control crowds, and so did Rome, due to the May Day Holiday. We learned about Napoleon on the Island of Elba, loved charming St. Paul de Vence, and envied the yachts in Monaco. To visit my favorite restaurant in Les Baux, L'Ousto de Beaumaniere, we took an empty motor coach, having bribed the drivers with a $550 lunch for four! Now we are planning our next cruise: 16 days on the Rhine and Moselle Rivers on Avalon River Cruises, most likely in September. Come along!!
