.............and we still feel like we did back in the sixties.
Well on good days we do!
On our most recent expedition to Antarctica we managed well, climbing into Zodiac boats, clambering up glaciers, jumping across crevasses (little ones!), hiking over rocky penguin covered hillsides, muddying our Wellies in slick, stinky, squelchy guano pools, and keeping our balance - most of the time - on board M/S Expedition while being tossed across often angry southern oceans.

When we first met in Washington, D.C, after leaving our homes in England, we immediately became friends and led a busy crazy life in the city. We don't have a lot of photographs of us together in those long ago days but this one has always been special. We thought we were 'the cat's whiskers' in our back-combed teased flips and beehives. These were the 'in' hairstyles of the day prior to the late, great, Vidal Sassoon coming out with geometric cuts in 1964. He liberated women by giving us the freedom to toss the rollers and bonnet dryers for ever.......and off we could go around the world with a brush and a blow dryer.
A true and lasting friendship is something very special.
I'm thankful that Paula and I have had this for such a long time.
We'll be traveling again this Spring, more on another exciting trip later.
Linking this to A Favorite Thing over at Claudia's Mockingbird Hill Cottage today.
Guess two favorite things qualify - a great friendship and my trusty blow dryer.
