Splitting time today between the long task of processing photos from our recent #cruise and the long task of swapping out the Jetpack tiled gallery in heavy use on my site, and this photo is from the former long task.

This is the Powerscourt Estate in #Ireland and the #mountain peak in the distance is Great Sugar Loaf.

Forgot to upload any phone photo from our #cruise on the day we were anchored near South Queensferry, #Scotland. We ditched our original plan to head to Edinburgh with the masses and instead booked a local boat trip out under the three bridges (Forth Road and Rail, and Queensferry Crossing) and then to Inchcolm Island where we explored the 13th century abbey and engaged in a battle of wills with the population of angry gulls around.

We're in Le Havre today, resting our feet in a craft ale bar (surprise!) after walking around for several hours with no firm plans. We've seen some very nice sights and great architecture but none nicer than the Église Saint-Joseph designed by the mentor of Le Corbusier, Auguste Perret. It is absolutely incredible and really difficult to describe, sorry.

Currently on a ship somewhere in the North Sea in the nightclub listening to what might possibly be some of the worst music our ears have been abused by. Flo-Rida and Soulja Boy were just the last two according to my phone. The only three people dancing are a white mum, dad, and daughter, all in similar t-shirts and him in khaki shorts - it's formal night, by the way - and the mother is trying to out-youth her daughter with her moves. It's both admirable and excruciating.

They held a #Eurovision trivia competition before the show and we've only gone and won it through some spectacular guesswork and low attendance because Americans who cruise really don't get this event. One bottle of ship champagne is ours. Ship. With a P.

Just got off the Falkirk Wheel and it's a great experience on an incredible bit of engineering. We were taken up, piloted along the aqueduct, turned around, and came back the same way. Smooth ride, barely even notice you're being lifted or lowered.

Heading back towards #Greenock through #Glasgow and we've got a sea day tomorrow before we reach the Shetlands.

Name a famous person (non-president) whose first and last names are shared with the first or last names of U.S. presidents.

Bonus points if their name is two presidential first names or two presidential last names.

Some pill-shaped windows set in a building on an industrial estate in the north of Portsmouth for #FensterFreitag this week.
