* On day 5, we counted the actual steps and distance, but we were in Montmartre this day, where the walk looked like the photo below. So we feel like it should actually be 3x the numbers shown.

* Note: We don’t do the official points scoring that Rummikub suggests (where positive points for one equals negative points for the other). We just count the points you have left if the other person went out — which is a negative number. What this means (for our table) is that the person with the lower negative number is ahead. It’s like golf. Except nobody’s yelling “Fore!” Usually.

Some of you may be asking where the heck we are. For a few days we were at a hotel in Paris. Now we’re on board a Viking ship. Click here to see all the info about this ship. This is our home-away-from-home for this leg of our trip:
