Typical Smith Chicks and friends
David coaching Christy's Yoga position
You'd never guess this is the last night
Diane and Russel
They came in pretty straight-laced, but we eventually got these Douglasses to unwind.
Cathy and Ginny
Serjay had dazzling technique but his secret was that there were really 3 people playing at the same time
Amasra, Turkey
Our Turkish guides
John's tour of the bridge
Icon (here St. Nicholas) typically hangs on the bridge
note the reflection -- several doctors in this picture including Chekhov, Ph.Ds, and M.D.s
The Yalta Conference small table
Here's another picture of those photogenic Douglases from Aynor, South Carolina -- as shown in a previous life. (left to right): Christy, Holly, Russel, and a visitor that day, Shirley MacLaine.
The Olympics were in session while we sailed; let's hope these aren't divers.
These three are long dead but they would want to come on our cruise (and probably put on those glowing devil's horns). They won't complain that they've already seen Yalta. The middle guy went to Harvard. Lately we've been getting our presidents from that other school, with mixed results. Maybe it's time to give that Cambridge place another chance or perhaps a Smith gal?)
You talkin' to me?
Harem dress has changed somewhat over the years. She really wasn't on the cruise but is included here by popular demand...
...while the fashion concept may be good, it is not always executed well...
...but then again, the Greeks may not have done much better.
Our guide Natalia
Odessa is a town of musicians, even in the rain
We invited them on the cruise, but they got tied up in a war and were greeted as liberators (maybe). At right, Vladamir Lenin.
Our Ukrainian hosts for afternoon tea
Dick finding out that his shutter delay is good for only two seconds...
...but now very pleased that he could move that fast.
...and the crowd approved as well
As if the Douglasses needed another good looking blonde!
Reacting to orthodox humor
Self portrait at Varna's Roman Baths
Another day of shipboard life
Fortunately we did not have one of these aboard ship
