What an adventuress you are!!!
Hi Margaret, This is your cousin Sally from San Francisco and am I ever impressed with your clarity of writing so that I feel as if I am walking beside you as you tour Venice. I was in Italy in 1967 with my roomate "Sox", the year after we graduated from the Univ. of Ill. and we had wonderful experiences. Reading your comments transports me in time and space to a different era in my life. I especially was touched by your comments about the store where they trusted you to pay before leaving....once upon a time it WAS that way in the US....unfortunately, that gentle way is gone even in smallish towns like Moline. Your mom was kind to allow me to read your blog page. Enjoy your travels. I hope to be able to read more of them. Love, Sally

i am also in love with paris in february
although i lived in paris for 3 yrs. as a child it is always new and amazing and reassuringly the same.i agree,italian pastries except for cannoli and other sicilian desserts do not compare to any french pastry. going to the trocadero at night to see the special eiffel tower lighting is a moving experience. in february it rains less and isn't crowded. ciao for now.

Je suis enchante avec votre blogs et photos!
Ma Plus Cher Margaret, (Voir le titre de commentaire), OK, Je reviens a l'anglaise! I am so excited for you (et l'adorable Bonnie!) Your blogs and photos belle are so great. I really do feel like you're letting me tag along on your trip. I LOVE the pic of you holding up the Tower of Pisa. Good thing you were there to help out! I have always loved that Renoir painting, (Moulin de la Galette) but never knew its name. There's a restaurant in Davenport that has a reproduction on the wall, and I always used to seat myself under it! Now I know the name, and you, lucky girl have seen l'original! Les impressionistes sont mon favori aussi! I love all your blogs and pix. Keep 'em comin'! I am so glad you are able to have this experience. I know you'll treasure it forever. I miss you, but am SO excited for you at the same time. We'll have to talk for hours when you get home. I want to hear about everything. Be safe, be happy. Je t'aime ma fille douce. Tante C.

Busy! Busy! Busy! But that's how I know you right! Those sound like some amazing classes and also perfect for you. I expect nothing less than a personal orignal MargAret painting to be waiting for me at DG when we come back, since you should be a master when you return. :) Sounds like you're haveing/going to have a great time. You're so creative, even in your blog. That's why you're a magazines major. I can feel it when I'm reading about your trip. Miss ya bunches roomie!
