  1. I am so pleased that you got to go to Tivoli. I have many fond memories of many hours spent there as a child. In the summer, after our supper, we would walk the short distance from our apartment to Tivoli. The nights were long and much cooler than the day, though way back then, much cooler than now. I had a favorite play place that had a ship like climbing toy. I pretended being the captain of that ship, a passenger and of course a princess being captured by a pilot. Later in the evening, we would catch the Harlequin Ballet on the stage and sometimes there would be a band playing in the park. The park was free back then, but you had to pay to go on the rides, which were very few back then. My Aunt brought my cousin over from Stockholm one time and it was the only time I went on a ride at Tivoli. When, we came to the states, Disneyland never could compare. Not even Disneyworld. Though, both are my favorite places in the US. There is nothing like Tivoli in the world. It is a magical place and I thank you for posting pictures that stirred such wonderful memories of a time 50 years ago.

  2. As always. thoroughly enjoying your reviews of all things Carnival. If the Halloween cruise works out, I plan to make many, many more trips. I am really enjoying the pictures of the excursions, being in a wheelchair and the fact that the area is centuries old, kind of precludes my being able to visit them, so I love that I can live vicariously through you. Of course, I really love the food porn and you are making me very hungry. Please tell me, is the jalapeno on top of the cheesy grits merely a decoration or does the spiciness flow through to the grits? I love grits, but can't eat anything spicy. Any dishes that you don't expect to be spicy, but are spicy never the less? Thanks for all you do.
