Last night we had dinner with our friends from CA and their friends - sat next to Betty, John and Priscilla - went to sailaway at 9:30 PM and MC is beautiful at night. We met our friends at 7PM in VL and there were 2 people in the lounge

- far cry from last week!

We actually went to bed at 10:30 - a first for us! This morning got off ship in (after breakfast on outside deck of La Veranda) Livorno and walked around for 3 hrs - since it is Sunday all shops closed but we enjoyed our walk - stopped at the Cathedral of Livorno and stayed for high Catholic Mass with incense - two young girls sang had voices of angels - wonderful experience - we are having dinner tonight with Betty and gang and chilling this afternoon - no agenda which is great!! Maybe our livers will get a break this week -
