Thank you Mike(y) for planning the wonderful and relaxing event today. I equally enjoyed meeting the other Ponders too!
Jerry is quite the character and
delightful (sorry your jokes didn't evoke the proper reactions from me - I work with engineers and contractors). With Kaz and Mike W, British accents were flying all over and a bit contagious, eh Jerry
We lunched in Long Beach, next to the renewed Pike, at Gladstone's out on the terrace overlooking the bay and the Queen Mary! We dined like we were in England on Fish'n'Chips and tea (California style- iced). Kaz brought the beautiful sunshine on her way from Mexico we SoCal residents have missed lately due to the rain storms the past 2 weeks
Kaz told us of her experience on the Ship and the people she has met and the anxiety of meeting 4 strangers in a faraway uncivilized land.
I don't blame ya!
Thank you Kaz for our souvenir Queen Victoria T-Shirts. It definitely was our pleasure and a privilege to meet you on your journey around the world. At least you know of 4 American serial killers....I mean nice American Ponders, to revisit if you ever come back out our way again.
We hope Kaz left us with a better image of Americans.....
