At the request of a few people who feel that I have left my blog open and wonder if I'm going to update anymore I am sorry to say that I am not.  I only wish that my daily life at home was exciting enough for people to want to read about.  And unfortunately now that I'm back home and not hanging at the retirement home abroad anymore, I have a life and no more time to write about my daily activities.  I never said anything about our last week in London, but it was great! My mom and hannah were able to come fly over and meet us there which was so much fun.  We took the chunnel to Paris for a night, where my mom was able to see me speak French to real French people for the first time since sending me to my little French school so many years ago.  Thanks for being interested in my life and giving me a reason to keep up with my travels.
