Last Crew Day in Palma, Spain

Bruce and Marian have flights home tomorrow from Spain, so we take the chance to explore Palma. It has been an exciting passage across the Mediterranean, probably more exciting than any of us thought when we started. The three of us have all got along and we end our adventure by visiting a popular local restaurant that I knew about. The last time Karalee and I were at the restaurant we were celebrating our Twentieth Wedding Anniversary and we had to book it almost a week in advance. Tonight karma was on our side and a cancellation just before the restaurant opened meant that the three of us got to have a special meal together to celebrate the success of our time together.
