I became inured to seasickness on our boats, but one time I travelled on a passenger boat from Norway to the UK and had to retire to bed without my supper. I just felt lousy.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-28861292677217276552015-07-14T11:29:44.910-04:002015-07-14T11:29:44.910-04:00That is SO COOL.

I wonder if your parents had a hard time adjusting to life on land after being on ships and boats for so long. Thanks for the clarification on the pronunciation of bruschetta. In my mind I am still saying 'brooshetta'. Will try hard to remember it's a K sound.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-44007609414061180502015-07-14T08:10:51.001-04:002015-07-14T08:10:51.001-04:00That sounds a fascinating childhood.

As a result I didn't discover until I was an adult that I wasn't the same. I've never actually been seasick even in rough weather with everyone around me turning green and throwing up.<br /><br />The bruschetta sounds delicious.Helen V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07989670682260643429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-80780977355669963372015-07-14T07:53:45.327-04:002015-07-14T07:53:45.327-04:00Not sure about incredible Denise, but it was somet...Not sure about incredible Denise, but it was something I took in stride I guess.
