Napoleon Enters Moscow

This stretch of our world tour is nearing its end. After 4 days at sea we will dock in Auckland on 5 March. 


The day is somewhat overcast and cooler. Good day to read. I marvel at Tolstoy’s (and his translator Anthony Briggs’) skill with words. 


Eve is reading an autobiography of Mary Roos, a german singer. We learn that Frank Sinatra hated the song, “My Way”. 


It’s the little things that make life interesting.
