THIS BLOG SITE PASSED 3 MILLION VIEWERS

For the past few years I've been tracking which would reach 3 million first, my United Airlines Star Alliance account, or this blog site.  Well, yesterday this site passed 3 million viewers.  The United miles were stymied by the pandemic, then during the past couple of years I've turned to other airlines for convenience and the simple fact that United miles are almost useless these days.

Further, 221 "countries" have visited this site.  Surprisingly, while, as expected, the USA is #1 with almost half the readers, Singapore is second at 15.3%.  There are only 195 countries, but 243 "countries" when you add Antarctica, various islands and territories.  Twenty-two of them have not clicked on this blog.  If you know anyone from these sites, please ask them to ping on my blog:

Country    Visitors  1. British Indian Ocean Territory 2. Central African Republic 3. Chad 4. Christmas Island 5. Comoros 6. Falkland Islands 7. Guinea-Bissau 8. Kiribati 9. Montserrat 10. Nauru 11.

I should add that the above numbers do not apply to this new blog site, which began a little more than three years ago.  I created this parallel location because the original one ran out of labels.  Should you wish to read SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR PLANET EARTH AND HUMANITY as a continuation of the original, GO TO:

Still on the Tauck Esprit, in Antwerp, Belgium, with our final stop next in Brussels.  We leave the ship on Sunday, and head for Barcelona,  On April 16 we board the Regent Seven Seas Voyager on an 11-day Mediterranean cruise.  But for now, still eating on the ship.  Had a simple breakfast, then lunch, at a cozy restaurant called Arthur, only a few yards from my cabin door. I can dress in shorts, t-shirt and bedroom slippers.  Arthur Tauck founded the firm in 1925.  Current chairman of the board is Arthur Tauck, Jr.  All directors are from the family.

My breakfast.

Lunch was a little more elaborate.

Arthur Tauck's Salad, soup and hot dog, with beer and glass of red wine.

Dinner was outstanding.

Fish tempura and cauliflower soup,.

Chicken salad.

Caesar Salad and Lasagna Bolognese,

Then for dessert upstairs for cherries jubilee, which I had with a glass of Calvados.

This was followed by a team game of Majority Rules.

A good day for me.
