Great Fun!
Like the photos, Anthony. The Sphinx never had a smile on her face when we saw her as well!

Sphynx
There is an old rubgy song, handed down from generation to generation, which explains the inscrutable smile on the Sphynx's face. The explanation itself in turn provokes an inscrutable smile on the faces of the singers, and so it is perpetuated. Still in Paris, putting up with the drizzle. Low point of the day : lying on my hotel bed, nursing a heavy cold. High point : couscous at the Roi de Couscous just round the corner - vaut le détour. C

Hi A & J, Nice to read your blog. Sorry you had trouble navigating the souk; know how you feel, Peter's giving free lessons in July and I am first on his hit list! Pleased that you are having a lovely time in the sun. The book of our Turkish holiday is coming along just fine and we are both enjoying reliving the experience. Best wishes M & P

enjoying your blog
Hello Jane & Anthony, thank you for sharing; looks very fresh up there in the Atlas Mts; the dollar weak these days, so I will spend my oil and gas stock market killings on a detached garage in Maine this summer I think; have already bought a maldeves-blue best-of-show 1974 Karmann Ghia convertible for running around down here in Arizona. Well, here's to you, you guys look great!

Looks like you had a great time. This retirement lark looks good! Did you ride the Marrakesh Express, inhaling or not? AB

Agreed
And not only that, they were better conversationalists too.

MORE OF JANE
and some more scintillating prose, Anthony, if you will. Thanks both for thinking of me -- I do recall with pleasure your kindness and thoughtfulness during our stay in Wales -- I wish I had read up on the Roman camps and barracks beforeI came -- I would have been a right pest if I had. Maine is showing its very best weather here in Indian Summer. I am beginning to prepare for my trip to Arizona, getting the VW Bus ready, storage for the Spitfire, the latter running with smooth power and perkiness in its natural habitate here on the coast. Cheers!! Dave Akers

Trust the Turks.....
... to lock up a Greek god. Actually you must visit the old town at Ferryside one day. Perched overlooking a natural mudflat, it has views towards the British MoD establishment which launches missiles out to sea. And a fish restaurant to die for.... er, I think somebody actually did.!!

GPS Satnav
The thought of getting a satnav system did cross my mind, briefly, before departure but I thought that we could manage well enough with the available maps and occasional references to Google Maps. Big mistake. If we go touring in Europe again a satnav system will be the first item on the list of necessities. Finding our way around the larger towns and their one-way systems has been quite stressful. Also there's the additional advantage that if one gets misdirected by the satnav there's something convenient to blame.

Duck!!!!!
Hi Tony, you are now in a part of France I know reallly well having owned a house there for 15 years. Fabulous scenery, lots of old castles which were fought over during the 100 years war, and best of all - duck. Every item on every menu seems to include some part of a duck so I hope you both like the stuff. Washed down with a bottle or two of Cahors (Bergerac at a push) and the colesterol should stay nicely balanced. Enjoy it. Cheers, Chris

T E Lawrence Country
Dodging the Turks, Lawrence blew through Petra 99 years ago (1913-1914) headed towards Aqaba and was impressed more by the beauty of place rather more than the monuments as they were then. He ran out of money and was helped by another British traveler. Thanks for sharing the place in your excellent account. Dave
