After a day of activities yesterday, today was planned as a day of work. The day started the same as usual… cloudy, and cooler than it should have been. Müfit and I took the dogs for a walk in the morning, taking the path around the edge of the wildlife preserve/lake.

A little further around we got quite a good view of the Queen Mary. We had at first thought we’d go to the Queen Mary and do a tour or something. I did this on the last day of our trip in 1989 so my thought was to stay with the dogs while Müfit and the kids went, but, with renting a car yesterday we got a lot more done and I don’t think anyone was too interested in visiting the Queen Mary anyway!

So, after the kids did far less work than they should have done – a common occurrence on this trip – they went for a swim in the afternoon as the sun had come out for a bit.
