Took me a while, dear reader, but here is the last post of my trip to Italy and France in September.  It was a blessing and a pleasure to be able to return to Paris.  I do love that city.  Getting to tour the various areas of the city and not just limit the visit to the regular touristy areas was a real treat.

However, the best part was traveling with friends.  Maryann, Earl, Tracie, Jessica and Debbie have become family to me.  We have so many adventures and laughs when we are together. We should write a collaborative book about our travels or at a minimum create a collaborative art journal documenting our thoughts and why we travel so well together.

As I write this post, I realize that travel is good for my spirit.  I can marvel at the culture, the architecture and the everyday life of the city/country I happen to be visiting.  Then I can come home and appreciate just how blessed I truly am.  So I look forward to more adventures, more friendships and more opportunities to write posts such as this, so that you, dear reader, can share in my blessings.

until next time....pilgrim

Tracie, my dear dear friend, Being with our group is alway a highlight of my life. I hope we can meet up sometime this year - Maybe in the Bay Area?

In 2016 I am thinking about joining Katy Kendrick and Judy Wise in Amsterdam. Kathy Vezzani organizes these trips. Also Cindy Woods will be hosting An Artful Journey after a year's sabbatical. Maybe you would like to attend AAJ.

Love you much. Say hello to Earl, and the girls
