You know we're always happy to ooo and ahhh over gorgeous travel pics!<br /><br />I did chuckle at your experience of speaking a foreign language. A bit humbling, isn't it! Reminds me of when I was doing a Mandarin course - I tried out the teensiest little sentence, the equivalent of "hello, my name's Sharon". obviously sounded completely incomprehensible to my poor listener... at least I hope that's why she looked so confused!

I'm not someone who wants to do 30 cities in 30 days. I far preferring to focus on a couple of countries at a time. We saw so much we often play the "remember that" game. At least the photos will be helpful for that.

I'd love to do it in his memory.<br /><br />Second the Volga River Valley to see if I could find where my grandparents immigrated as "Germans from Russia" in the early 1900s. I still might have family there somewhere.<br /><br />Thanks for posting these wonderful things, I hope you don't mind me stopping by and checking things out!

Maybe you could pop over here with them.<br /><br />Your photos brought back fantastic memories of a trip to Paris and the Loire chateaus we made a couple of years ago. So nice that guess where my current book is set?<br /><br />Hm, a birthday anywhere? Wherever my family is. But if I could transport them all then maybe the Amalfi Coast or Venice or Iceland.
