So happy to have found your blog, Taline. This is beautiful writing. I am so glad to know that you are sharing your insights as you travel and hope you have many wonderful new experiences along the way. My best wishes to you always, Sandy
Sandy,
What a nice surprise on my last evening in Paris, before taking off to Cologne to see my friend A.B. whom I had met in Iowa City, more than thirty years ago, when Tamar was a baby. After Cologne, I am off to Venice.
This is my first long trip across the pond since Ohan’s death.
Thanks for your good words about my blog. I started it on a whim and now it has become a part of my life. Come back and visit. I’ll be writing from Cologne and, of course, Venice.
Love,
Taline
