1. We Are the World – “We’re The World (USA For Africa)”

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can’t go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We all are a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

1A We a re Family – We Are Family Sister Sledge
We are family, I got all my sisters with me, We are family
Get up ev’rybody and sing, We are family,I got all my sisters with me
We are family,Get up ev’rybody and sing Ev’ryone can see we’re together
As we walk on by (Hey) and we fly just like birds of a feather, I won’t tell no lie

2. It’s a Small World (Disney) it’s a world of laughter, a world or tears, it’s a world of hopes, it’s a world of fear
there’s so much that we share that its time we’re aware it’s a small world after all
CHORUS: it’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all, it’s a small, small world There is just one moon and one golden sun, And a smile means friendship to everyone. Though the mountains divide And the oceans are wide It’s a small small world

3. What a Wonderful World (Armstrong) – I see trees of green.. red roses too, I see em bloom.. for me and for you And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue. clouds of white Bright blessed days….dark sacred nights And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world. The colors of a rainbow…so pretty in the sky. Are also on the faces…of people ..going by I see friends shaking hands…..sayin.. how do you do They’re really sayin……i love you. I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow They’ll learn much more…..than I’ll never know And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world. The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky Are there on the faces…..of people ..going by I see friends shaking hands…..sayin.. how do you do They’re really sayin…*spoken*(I love..you). I hear babies cry… I watch them grow *spoken*(you know their gonna learn A whole lot more than I’ll never know) And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself …….what a wonderful world

4. Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand (Ross) Reach out and touch Somebody’s hand Make this world a better place If you can. Reach out and touch Somebody’s hand Make this world a better place If you can

5. We Shall Overcome (Seeger) We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome, some day, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome, some day. We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, some day. Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome, some day
6. This Land is your Land (Pete Seeger) [Chorus:] As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway, I saw below me that golden valley, This land was made for you and me. I roamed and I rambled, and I followed my footsteps To the sparking sands of her diamond deserts,
7. Do, Re, Mi (Andrews) Lets start at the very beginning A very good place to start When you read yo begin with A-B-C When you sing you begin with DO-RE-MI Child: do re mi DO RE MI…The first three notes just happen to be: DO-RE-MI CHild: do re mi…DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-TI…Oh let me see if I can make it easier DOE– A DEER A FEMALE DEER RAY– A DROP OF GOLDEN SUN ME– A NAME I CALL MYSELF FAR– A LONG LONG WAY TO RUN SEW– A NEEDLE PULLING THREAD LA– A NOTE TO FOLLOW SEW TEA– A DRINK WITH JAM AND BREAD THAT WILL BRING US BACK TO DO… oh oh oh
8. Blowing in the Wind (Peter, Paul & Mary) How many roads must a man walk down. Before they call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? How many times must the cannonballs fly Before they’re forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind. How many years must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? How many years can some people exist Before they’re allowed to be free? How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind. How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? How many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? How many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind.
9. Imagine/John Lennon, (Beatles) Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky,Imagine all the people living for today. Imagine there’s no countries, It isn’t hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace. You, you may say, I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one, I hope some day you’ll join us And the world will be as one. Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world. You, you may say,I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one, I hope some day you’ll join us And the world will live as one
10. One Love (Marley) One love, one heart, Let’s get together and feel all right. Hear the children crying (One Love, one heart, Hear the children crying (One Heart) Sayin’, “Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right. Sayin”, Let’s get together and feel all right.”
11. The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow (Annie) The sun’ll come out Tomorrow bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow There’ll be sun! Just thinkin’ about Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs, And the sorrow ‘Til there’s none! When I’m stuck with a day That’s gray, And lonely, I just stick out my chin And grin, And say, Oh The sun’ll come out Tomorrow So ya gotta hang on Tïll tomorrow Come what may Tomorrow!Tomorrow!I love ya Tomorrow!You’re always A day A way!

A short ride to the docking location at Vila Nova de Gala took us to our floating hotel the AmaVida for an amazing cruise down the Douro River, an incredible wine-growing region known for its excellent vintages. We settled into our home away from home and enjoyed the first night aboard the AmaVida.  The ship’s lounge was a gathering place for onboard announcements, lectures and entertainment.  Lunch as well as dinner was a multi-course served meal with complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks.  An after-dinner red port wine, Portugal’s best known product throughout the world was always served.

The following morning we passed the Carrapatelo Lock, the highest lock in Europe in one single lift.  All along the river there were steep hillsides for the cultivation of grapes. The wine harvest takes place in the fall, the grapes are crushed immediately.   Different varieties are created with different grapes, aging procedures, and aging time which include:  Ruby Port – a blend of wines aged for a few years; Tawny Port – similar to Ruby Port but made from a lighter golden colored wine and a White Port –made from white grapes, served as an aperitif.  The AmaVida gave us the opportunity to taste some of the different port wines produced in the Douro River Valley..

One of the most traditional wine-producing estates in Regua is the Sandeman Estate on the South Bank of the Douro River between the city of Régua and the village of Pinhão.  Sandeman’s winery offered us a venture into port wine production, including tours of the open fermenting vats.  This tour was followed by tastings in the bar with exceptional views of the River Douro.

Barca de Alva was the last port of call in Portugal and an overnight stay.  The river emerges from a long, narrow gorge to the northeast, where it forms the frontier with Spain.  Salamanca, Spain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on a plateau near the Tormes River would be our next stop.  City highlights included sandstone buildings, a 12^th Century cathedral and the University of Salamanca founded in 1218 by King Alfonso VI.    A buffet lunch was served at the Alameda Palace Hotel where we had a taste of the local cuisine followed by a Flamenco show and a walking tour of the city.  The ship was now docked in Vega De Terron, Spain, where a traditional barbeque dinner was served on the sun deck of the AmaVida with soft listening piano music – which would also fill the lounge in the afternoons and each evening.

After breakfast our tour was in Castelo Rodigo, one of 12 historical villages of Portugal.  This small fortified village was perched on the hilltop with 16^th century walls and steep narrow streets. We discovered numerous sites on their cobblestoned slopes such as a clock tower, a wall around the city, a jail, a handicraft shop and the Rocamadour Church, founded in 1192. A Tea House at Castelo Rodrigo served red and white Port Wines which everyone enjoyed while sitting outside or in a private room.   In the past, Castelo Rodrigo was a place where Jews, Muslims and Christians lived in peace and harmony.

This evening we departed for Pinhao, Portugal, a tiny port town located approximately 25 kilometers east of Regua.  There is only one street in Pinhao, a couple of waterfront bars and a train station – completed in the late 19^th century.  That evening a Portugal dinner was served at the family-owned winery Quinta da Avessada in the heart of the Douro region. This winery was built a century ago producing premium Muscatel wine.  Returning to the AmaVida we continued cruising to Pinhao, where we spent the night.  Pinhao may be a tiny port town, but it is an important supply center for surrounding villages and a key stop for river cruise vessels.

The next day we were back in Regua on a tour of the Mateus Palace with its beautiful gardens located in the Tras-os-Montes region near the city of Vila Real, Portugal.  Inside the Palace were exhibits of paintings, furnishings and ceilings of carved wood.  Returning to the ship for lunch there was an after-lunch surprise ice cream party on the sundeck.  Cruising up the Douro River we arrived in Bitetos, Portugal for a 6:00PM dinner at the Monastery of Alpendurada.  Overlooking the Douro Valley, it was  built in the 19^th century for the Count of Villa Real.  Before the four-course Portugal dinner and wine served in the outside gardens, we had the opportunity to discover the beautiful 16^th through 19^th century Portuguese, French and British furniture decorating the Palace.

Going back to Porto, we passed the Crestuma Dam and arrived at Vila Nova de Gaia.  A city tour was followed by port wine tasting at Grahams. The history of Graham’s spans several centuries, during which time it has always maintained its independence as a family business.  The story of Graham’s is the story of two families:  the Grahams and the Symingtons.  These two enterprising families have dedicated generations of work to the great wines of the Douro Valley.
