Beautiful Day in Boston on the Freedom Trail
Dear Friends, I’m sorry that my blogging has been so sporadic, but our internet connectivity has been hit or miss. So I’m doing the best I can. Our cabin steward just stopped me in the hall to let me know that he would be bringing in our veranda furniture for tonight because the weather is […]
Rocking and Rolling on the Atlantic cruise
Dear Friends, I posted some of these pictures on Facebook, but for those who aren’t on FB, here’s another rendition.

History abounds in this area for several reasons: 1. The […]
Cruising on the St. Lawrence
Bonjour from Canada! Bernie and I have been cruising down the St. Lawrence River and onto the Eastern seaboard for a 10-day cruise with the Burritt group. We’d love to share our photos with you.

Three Cheers for some Cooler Days in Paris…Finally
Bonjour, Yesterday was wonderful…cool, breezy, and such a relief from the oppressive heat. Our plan had been to have a picnic lunch down by the river but some rain thwarted that just as it was almost time to go. We will try again today. Speaking of the river, we are a bit dismayed that the […]
Counting Down Last Days in a Very Hot Paris
Bonjour, Early yesterday morning, we got a few drops of rain which only served to create a steam bath outside for the rest of the day. It’s too hot to sleep or even to eat much. We resent these hot days as our visit winds down because it prohibits our usual circulation. We chose to […]
Shopping in Paris and other Delectible Discoveries
Bonjour, Yes, it was hot in Paris yesterday, a high of 93, but not too steamy to discover a few wonderful delights. Before the temps soared, I was out doing some shopping which I have saved to the end of our trip: a new pair of walking shoes and a new shoulder purse. The very […]
