Train engineer
The train engineer job reminds me of when you and Eric used to set up a line of kitchen chairs and pretend you were on a train, taking turns being the engineer. That was about 18 or 19 years ago. Time flies.

Easter day
Well, they do know how to make good coffee in Italy! Sounds like you had a nice cupa Joe for your Easter breakfast. And a relaxing day at the beach. Nice.

Drop dead gorgeous view
Unbelievable views! Too bad you weren't really in town, but you seemed to figure it out. Even if you can't always find the bus stops, it sounds like I trained you well to find the greatest sounding pastries! Excellent work, Valerie!

Palermo is only for tourists
So you'll have to go back to Palermo during the tourist season to see the puppetry in full swing. Even though you didn't get to see everything on your list, you got to see the town and a few sights. Looks beautiful, with the palm trees and interesting geology there.

fabulous Sicily!
Hi Val, Thanks for the quick update on your vacation. Sounds wonderful. We, too, have been to Taormina but not to Mt. Etna. Happy to hear that your trip is going well and hope that it continues to do so. Love, Grandma

Tours weekend
Sounds like a fun weekend! The birthday party for Carl sounds fun. You'll have to make sure and include Blandine in your activities in Lewisburg next year. Your month of bicycle rental is almost over already! That "cough" will surely go away when the bike is returned to the rental company!

Berlin is Beautiful
You packed in lots of fun in the few days you were in Berlin! The nighttime photo of the Brandenburg Gate is beautiful! And your climb to the top of the Reichstad sounds terrific. So sorry you had to do it solo. The night life in Berlin is well known. Nice you were able to experience it with people who knew where to take you to a good spot. Lucky you!

History lesson
No history lesson is better than a field trip! It sounds like your trip was great, despite having to get up practically in the middle of the night to get to Normandy. Sounds like this was the perfect time to take your body blanket along!

Old friends
What a great time you had with your friends from France! They were great hostesses! Hearing your stories makes me miss Karol and Marie-Ange too! They look great in the photos. You say that Tours is not style-savvy, but Marie-Ange always knows the latest styles. Whatever Marie-Ange was wearing, we'll be seeing in Oregon in about three years! So start shopping!

memories
Hi Val, Grandpa and I also visited Normandy, the cemetery and the museum but had an English speaking guide. She made it clear that she did not care much for Americans but was civil to us. Love, Grandma

I can't imagine what it would be like to be on the beaches of Normandy or go to the American Cemetery. I didn't realize that it's actually American soil. The first and I think last scenes of Saving Private Ryan take place (and I believe were filmed) there. If you have time, a curious political science major wants to know why Kennedy wanted to punish France. I don't remember learning that in APUSH.
