Two weeks from today we leave on our cruise. One of the stops, allowing us time to explore on shore, will be on the Falkland Islands, where we will, we hope, get to see many, maybe hundreds of, penguins. I know that penguins are popular (I also think they're incredibly cute) but I didn't realize how popular until we started discussing the details of our up-coming trip with our family. To date I have a list of at least ten near and dear relatives and friends to whom I MUST SEND penguin postcards.
I was talking about the trip this afternoon with the second grader I tutor, explaining why I would be gone for the next four weeks; one Monday of no school and three weeks on the cruise. He seemed to understand, although he said he would miss me, and he also wants pictures of penguins.
Fingers crossed that the day we visit the Falklands is a great day for taking pictures and that, somewhere close to where we land, there is a lovely little gift shop with lots of penguin postcards. What are the odds?
