so..here we are ...after much time has passed!  I have had a whirlwind year!  between work, and my few holidays....

last year..I ventured to France again....I went to Marseille to visit with a penpal...and we drove along the coast(on the cliff's edge..no less)...and also to Monaco!  next stop was Venice...where I went to Murano..to see glass being hand made!  exciting!  I knew nothing of Venice except about what I have read in my historical novels...and Murano was the only place really mentioned!  so I learnt a  lot..but there is so much more to see!  Then I returned to Bordeaux for another visit...


 I just wish I had more money!!!  if I could only win the lottery!  I could  travel so much more!  but...I take what I can get!

Can't wait to plan my next holiday!  There is so much out there...I just don't know where to begin!  :)
