May 16: Germany
Today we were in Hamburg Germany and the people there are “Hamburgers”. There are many McDonalds there. We went oon our tour to Schewrin(I don’t think that this is how it was spelled but it was something like that), a lovely town and castle. The castle was fascinating with many lovely rooms. We had lunch there and afterwards I added to my art collection by purchasing several reproduction postcards of some of the paintings in the castle. The Duchesses of Schewrin wore very lovely outfits and their portraits were all over the place.
I was very tired for most of the day and slept through most of Hamburg. My eyes still aren’t cooperating and I doubt they will until I get home again. I’ve had a fun cruise but it is almost over and then it will be time to be home again. Then it will be time to work and earn my new Eowyn and get used to our time again.
Today there were Alfred Hitchcock movies on the television and I think I made the mistake of watching one. Hopefully I won’t have nightmares about being strangled by my two best friends who wanted to experience how it felt to murder. Ughhh… I don’t like movies like that, I much prefer happy endings and not immoral and strangely logical people. At least in Arsenic and Old Lace it was funny and had a happy ending.
My eyes are complaining again so I think it is time to go to bed. When I get back I’ll have a lot of work to do on the movie I am working on. I’ll have to get my camera out and practice a few of the shots I’ll be doing. As I wrote in my notes, the special effects department of Elizabeth Unlimited is going to love this movie.
However speaking form the point of view of the special effects department I think that “Yeah Right” would be an appropriate answer. If there were more of me it would probably be a bit easier but I think that this film won’t be too impressive looking since I can’t act and move my stuffed animals at the same time and I don’t have technology to make their mouths open and close in synchronization to their lines. However close ups of cute little stuffed animals may be interesting enough.
Speaking of cute little animals I just bought a little seal in one of the shops. He is so cute! He has a little Pirate’s hat, eye patch and a few other piraty things.
However now I really must go to bed. Tomorrow is my last at sea day and I want to enjoy. And I have eaten way to much sugar this cruise.
