On New Year's Day, Amy and I took an overnight ferry from France to Corsica. Fortunately, we got out on the deck and had a look before they closed it off (bad weather). Ahoy!
Amy (what Dramamine?) on the ferry; Out on the deck: sometimes it's too much hassle for me to take mortal form.
The ferry dropped us off in Bastia (large city in the NE of Corsica). We stayed there for a couple days and checked things out, and then went down to Ajaccio(the capital). Both cities have old citadels. In Bastia, the citadel houses the "old town" part of the city, Ajaccio's citadel is used as a military base (this means no admittance for Moreys).
While in Bastia, we mostly just wandered around, looked at things, and ate. In Ajaccio we did more of the museum/monument scene.
Bastia marina and St. John the Baptist church; wall of the Bastia citadel; a seaside moment-think of me the next time you order something "on the rocks"

Monica----you may have missed that I sent an earlier missive, but I sure am enjoying your terrific pictures, & I love your writing! Thanks for giving all of us such a wonderful, vicarious travel experience! We think you're a pretty gutsy girl!
You've had your mom & your sister, Amy, join you. Will Dad be able to, too?
Thanks,
Em's Mom
Hi, Em's mom! Thanks for visiting my blog! I still have several smiles a day compliments of the memories of Esie and Emily's visit.
Take care in Minnesota.
P.S. Well, we're working furtively to get Dad over to visit...CentCom, INTERPOL, and the Dept. of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks are all involved....
Hey Monica-
You may not remember me from your previous days on 54. Words can not express how jealous I am of you. Keep having a blast!
Christine
Hey Chris!
Great to hear from you! I vaugely recall my days on 54...I seem to remember something about wearing a lot of maroon...
Actually, I think about you guys all the time! A couple weeks ago in Zurich I passed a window with a huge Clindamycin display, and I had a little moment of panic like I was supposed to be hanging a piggyback somewhere. Scary!
Gotta go, I haven't ambulated x6 yet today :)
Hope all is well
