As you can see I figured out the caps key.
Just wanted to share with you the wonderful evening we had tonight. We all dine together every night - well, actually we have all our meals together. Earlier in the day today we decided that every night at dinner we would share with each other the highlight of the day. What a great idea that turned out to be!!!!! It was really wonderful hearing what everyone else had to say and hearing each other's perspective. For the most part, we all get along great. Catholics aren't as stuffy as I thought - we laugh together quite a bit. And, or course, the wine helps. Those Catholics, they are drinkers!!! And, of course, Barbara and I do NOT want to offend them by not drinking with them!!!
On the way back to the room, Walter and I stopped at the front desk to ask them something and there was a woman there who was leading a tour group. She asked us who we were and when we said we were from Texas and on a pilgrimmage, she said you must be the Catholic group. Walter answered yes and she looked at my glass of wine (Walter did not have one) and said, "Well, I can tell you are not Baptist". I laughed and told her there are two Baptists in the group and that I am one of them, but was just being sociable.
The real highlight of the night was that we had a "wedding reception" for the couple who renewed their vows today. I think I told you before that Walter is a singer (btw, I said in earlier mail that the couple was Walter and Julie - typo on my part - his name is Finis - Walter is the retired NYC policeman).
Anyway, at the "reception", he gave a little talk about Broadway and various musicals and sang a couple of songs from GUYS AND DOLLS. He has a wonderful voice!!! What a treat to hear him sing throughout the day.
What a wonderful evening!!!!! Oh, and speaking of wine, at all of the holy sites (which are owned by the Catholics), you can buy wine and beer!!!! That is SO weird!!!!
Well, off to bed. Early morning trip to Mt. Tabor, the river Jordan, and Jerusalem.
