remembering
Dear Roger and Jeanette, first and foremost may I take this opportunity to wish you and yours many blessings, good health and much happiness in 2017 from us all. Like I have expressed to you previously Roger, I have found your blog most interesting, beautifully and passionately written all with a sense of wanting to share the momment and time of the places you are at. Having been to Belgium at least 5 times in my lifetime, the cities best kown to me are Brussels mainly, Ostend and Bruges to a lessor extent. As I read your travel log/blog I recall with nostalgia the beauty of ancient Brussels, going to Mass in the Cathederal and the service being carried out in French and Flemmish, all very spiritually invigorating even if i did not understand it all. The square near enough to the Grand Palace with the Manneken Piss. Rue de le Loi i think it was......and so much more. going to a fete in a basement to celebrate Jamaicas independance one August and so many more thoughts recalled. thanks for the memories..... Roger your writing is so expressive it just makes every place come alive and you all in the pictures are really enjoying yourselves inspite of the cold. I guess the Mull wine kept you warm. Please keep blogging, allow us to remember with you....... thanks, thanks Au revoir ccg Just want to wish Jeanette and Les a beautiful 2017 filled with good health and Good Karma, and blessings.

Food description
Roger, you should be a food critic :) Your descriptions are mouth watering...

FABULOUS TRIP
Roger and Gee: this seems to be a wonderful trip, cannot get enough of the pictures of Belgium with the Christmas atmosphere... wish we were there. Enjoy, stay safe and see you when you are back. Maureen

St Lucia's beauty
Contrarily to many other beautiful places, St Lucia is beautiful even when it rains!

Love the flowers, and reading your blog's, hugs to you and Jeanette, travel well, God bless

Best soup
You have to try the lentil soup at Gobble, opposite Place Carenage. It is the best lentil soup in the world! This from the flattered Swiss hostess

Jealous!
Oh Roger ......... I so want to eat that Julie mango............fully agree about it being the most delicious variety. And the local fish and ground provisions ........huh! And the paw paw. As for the bread ........ I used to know where every little local bakery was located, but sadly can no longer have that enjoyment. Enjoyed your blog but am wondering whose son died? Please give my love to Jeanette and I hope you both continue to enjoy every minute on our island home.

Physical efforts for spiritual afterlife
What seems strange to you was shared by other cultures, i.e. the Egyptians

Army without weapons
Your description of the visit to China is so vivid and captivating that I wish I could visit also.

morocco
Also one of the most interesting places I have ever been to.

We loved our two weeks in Morocco
We found the culture and the foods amazing and would be happy to go back. The Atlas mountain drive made me slightly queazy but I ended up ok once the driver slowed down a bit.
