Washington, Maryland and Virginia showed us their fall colors from October 16-28. We were fortune to have lovely weather as well --it was "the calm before the storm" of Hurricane Sandy.

your North American trip
Hi Hilary, Great to hear about your trip. I was on the East Coast almost at the same time, also saw the fall leaves, and got out just in the nick of time. I was promoting "Joie de Vivre" - hope you'll enjoy reading it if you get a copy (it's on amazon, both in hardcover and on kindle). And if you like it and want to write a review for amazon, that's even better! Hope to see you in Paris in December. All the best, Harriet

Hilary! You should have said you were coming to where I live - we could have gotten together for a visit! I am glad you seem to have enjoyed the university where I went to school and my area. - Brenda

Oh, my gosh, Brenda. I'm so sorry. I completely forgot you were in the area. Mea culpa!

A very nice trip it would appear
Hi Hilary. Many of your DC shots were ones we saw about 2 months previously when we too were there. We had a great retreat last weekend in Cologne (almost 150 people) and now look forward to April in Alsace. The new UUFP location is fine for us, less grandiose to be sure. When will you be back? Hugs, Peter
