This morning we arrived in Calvi, Corsica. We looked out the window and on a hill we could see this beautiful citadel which dominates the island. After breakfast we rode a tender to the old part of the city and Liz, Susan and I walked up to see the Calvi Citadel. The streets were cobblestone and it was all uphill and so after a while I said I would wait for them to make a tour on the top level of the citadel. The citadel had panoramic views of the city. Liz and Susan walked up to see the 13th century St. Jean Baptiste Cathedral and it was closed. They also saw a house that Christopher Columbus lived in. He was born here. Then we walked around the city center and visited an imposing pink church, L’Eglise Santa Maria, which is a distinct city landmark. The church was open and we went inside to see all the artwork. It was a small church but worth the visit. Then we walked around the city and mostly shopped and looked in stores. Susan bought a most unusual blouse that can also be a pair of pants. The colors are beautiful and it was on sale for only 10 Euros. What a bargin. Liz also found a cute blouse. Then we caught the tender back to the ship. It is now almost Happy Hour and you get two drinks for just $1.00 more than the price of one. At 4:30 we play Trivia and we have almost won three times. Then we go to dinner in the dining room.
Tomorrow we go to Monte Carlo.
