One of those grand, but welcoming affairs, with the windows open and a warm breeze shuffling the curtains. Silverware clinks against china, bubbles flow up inside of glasses, and at the head sit you and Jeffrey, sharing these amazing stories with those of us invited to your table. So much of what you write about, and the way you write, is filled with hard authority on the history of our world. I am in awe of all you know, and all you and your family have seen. When I read this line, "Below, the streets teem with motor scooter drivers and vendors as they begin their daily frenetic ritual of eeking out a living" I felt like I could hear the city you described. Beautifully written. When I read your posts, Becky, I feel as if I am a guest at your dinner table.

Aaah yes, Paris--such a great place. Parisians treated me warmly too when I was there. I'm not sure where their abrupt reputation comes from because everybody I've ever known who has gone to Paris has had a wonderful experience.

Thanks for taking me to places I know I never will visit. My surprise is how pleasant the people in Paris were to us on our last trip. Everyone speaks of Parisians' sarcasm and superciliousness, but I saw none of that. My weapon is a friendly smile and a demeanor that sends the message, "I don't know everything about everything and would enjoy listening to you."

If France isn't next week, it will most likely be the week after. You must want to know about the giant champagne bottle! I’m not sure yet.

Atop this old crumbling headstone was a old pair off spike high heeled shoes and an old necklace. I’d have to say an old abandoned cemetery in Quintana Roo Mexico.
