First Impressions

The ship is overwhelming, Way outside our comfort zone, Much different from the other River cruises we have known. We're jet lagged and exhausted, With no energy to spare, So shuttling to town just seems Too much for us to bear. We had a little lunch, though And enjoyed the view and food; Unpacked our stuff which really helped To brighten up my mood. We're sitting on a deck now, Simply soaking up the sun, The sea a sparkling vista; Our adventure has begun. I jump at first impressions, Often negative and flat But at least when I strike out I get another chance at bat.
