Sailed into beautiful Dubrovnik this morning. We did a walking tour of the old walled town. It’s a city of churches, including this one behind the statue. Then we took a bus ride to a small family-owned winery, where we enjoyed the wines & excellent locally produced prosciutto, cheese, olives & bread. Cats know when you don’t like them & this little bugger would NOT leave me alone. But on the other hand, Mr. MKA’s grandfather was from Dalmatia, and right before we got on the tender to return to the ship, I spotted a friendly Dalmatian and had to give her a head scratch. The sun came out late afternoon so I lounged on the deck & immersed myself in @bonnie_garmus_author new novel Peck & Peck. I’ll be in conversation with her in Atlanta this Sunday! Also, our team won ‘80s music trivia tonight (second trivia win in a row!) Although we weren’t much help since I was busy having babies in the’80s. Thank Gawd our team members knew their Bananarama and their Wham! . #windsurf #windstarcruises #croatia

Rainy and chilly when we sailed into the beautiful harbor at Montenegro yesterday morning, but the rain stilled long enough for us to do a walking tour of Kotor. I’ve now officially been in more churches in just this week than I have been in the last five years. We toured the museum where I spotted a new potential faux relative. I’m calling her Sofia Trajicnik. She poisoned her husband Stefan after she caught him frolicking with the milkmaid, and then before the local magistrate could send her to the gaol, the nuns at Our Lady of the Rock spirited her away to their convent high on the mountaintop. Anyway…there are thousands of cats in Kotor, and the local red wine is powerful stuff. Today we anchor at Dubrovnik, where Mr. MKA’s people were from. Roughly. #windsurf #windstarcruises #seacruise

Perfect weather to explore beautiful Sardinia. Views of Mt. Etna, witnessing a wedding at a church on the square in Taormina, (we saw the train station where the scene from The Godfather was filmed when Al Pacino meets up with the radiant bride-to-be Diane Keaton) random alley cat, more gelato (because why not?) late lunch at a cafe featuring burrata so good all other burrata should be ashamed of themselves, watching the official sail-away as the #windsurf sails are unfurled and we get underway for Montenegro, Mr. MKA enjoying his afternoon bourbon, fabulous dinner ending with an amazeballs dark chocolate domed mousse situation. We might currently be in a food/wine coma. Buona notta! #windstarcruises #windsurf #anofferwecouldntrefuse
