Trojans, Cousteau, and Cretins

Yesterday, we hit out final "new" port of this journey. I haven't seen a couple of the places we'll port at between here and home, but the ship has been there since I joined up. I was just busy with installing the shows for a couple of the early ports.

The port yesterday? Herkalion, Crete. Are people from Crete called Cretins?

I bought something lovely for my parents there - they're remodeling the house. I can't say what it is, but between this and the couple of other things I've picked up I can say I've contributed.

Last night was our crew halloween party, and of course the entire cast was elaborately dressed for the occassion. It took a lot of crew mess mini-cereal boxes to create my cereal box replica of trojan warrior armor and helmet, but that was me.

Present on our ship and somehow at the crew party: Jean-Michelle Cousteau.

Yup. That Cousteau. He's on for a while now.

19 days.
