The Get Fresh Cruise

January 14th, 2011

somewhere on the baltic between sweden and latvia

Believe it or not the Get Fresh Crew is on a two day cruise.  Sweet little cabin with window and a valid bathroom and shower.  Of course making the ship was another adventure which necessitated changing trains twice,  yours truly screaming at his lolligagging family, a bloody thumb, and a "veritable perils of pauline series of cliffhangers"*.   The quest concluded on a pitch black wharf in the mist with lots of razor wire and me speaking into a speaker and trying to get the harbormaster to open the gate.


Just got back from the dinner buffet.  Buckets of shrimp, smoked salmon, beef rind (?), escalloped spuds, and marinated mussels. Ben found the video room and quickly became the international gaming king.  He is upset that we will not let him play video poker.  We arrive in Helsinki tomorrow at 7:30am.  Hopefully grab a cup of joe with petri and then hop the one month old high speed train from Helsinki to St. Petes. If all proceeds apace, we will be seated in the Marinsky Theatre for the ballet tomorrow night.   

The last couple of days in berlin were a blur of museums with the pergamon and the neues following the jewish.  Currywurst found favor amongst the family and I strongly considered buying a cane at the second hand store.

Now scoffing at finnish statute 22.12.1994/1345, 4 (with the weird s thing.)
