San Francisco where we had a warm welcome from Silversea and the World Cruise named this year : THE TALES OF TALES, writers will come on board and talk about their “tales” of traveling , just like we will do for our friends and family.
Our first night in San Francisco, what a pleasure to have dinner with our friends who accumulated all my boxes from Amazon and nicely prep. them in a suitcase. Great memories, great conversations, most of all great home prepared food which we will not have for many months.
And now a day of rest in the beautiful hotel, till our World Cruise Gala. The view from our window : A Catholic church and the Jewish Museum where our Gala will be held.
