Blogging on the River Rhine is so much fun!

In case you didn't catch it, that title is a little facetious. I'm having a lot of trouble getting logged onto the Internet with my tablet. I thought we were in a place where we couldn't get service. Then Joe, sitting 3 feet from me, said he was online. So I decided to use the ship's laptops that they have available for us. That was difficult. First, while I could connect to the internet, it was very slow. Secondly, the keyboard was different from ours. It had a lot of strange characters, obviously in other languages. And the y and the z were in opposite places. Every time I tried to type the word city, it would come out citz, and you would come out zou. The shift key was a little further over, with the < key where the shift key usually is. So instead of typing something like I, it would be <i. Even with all these problems, I still trudged through it, until I had typed a whole paragraph, accidentally hit one key - I know not which one, but it is obviously an evil key - and everything that I had typed disappeared. At that point I gave up and had decided that this would not be a blogging vacation. We thought that perhaps the problem with my tablet might be that too many people were online and that's why I couldn't get on. I had a chance to test this theory. This morning I woke up at 4 o'clock. The thought occurred to me that I could try to get online, since no one else would likely be on at that time. I tried the internet and got right on. Problem solved. Now all I have to do is work on this blog in the middle of the night. Thought you might like to know this. Also this is my excuse if things don't make sense.
