Heather's Happy Thoughts

On our first tour of Paris the morning after our arrival, memories of having lived and worked there flooded back as I saw familiar sights.  Then, as the days went by I saw Paris, and the other wonderful places on our tour, through new lenses.  Angelique’s knowledge and humor helped to make me feel as if I were experiencing things for the first time.  Some of them were completely new to me, like the magnificent ancient city of St. Malo.  I loved every minute of it: the itinerary, the food, the walking, the cooking lesson, the art, the architecture, the history, and the company—our “pinch-me-I-can’t-believe I’m here” group of “girls” was the best in traveling companions! I had begun to think I would never set foot in France again.  Then, when Marge planned such a marvelous trip, friends and family urged me to go.  I was thrilled to be back there.  It had only taken 33 years…now, I can’t wait to return to France!
