High Tea on the SS Rotterdam...

I felt very honored when I received an invitation to attend a 70th birthday celebration for Georgia, a long-term member of the AWC. How exciting that her party was aboard the SS Rotterdam, which was built in Rotterdam and sailed from 1959 through 2000. Georgia actually moved to the Netherlands aboard a ship, but not one this fancy.

During the high tea there were some wonderful speeches from Georgia’s daughter and many of Georgia’s friends from different aspects of her life. No doubt that she’s an amazing woman!

The ship is now permanently moored in Rotterdam and has been converted to a hotel with several restaurants. Johanna and I went exploring, but we didn’t get very far before a security guard told us we’d have to pay for a tour to see the rest.

As Johanna and I were heading to her car, a porter offered to take my photo in front of one of the elevators. The weather was so nice that Johanna popped the top down on her Mini, which made for a great ride home.
