Up at 4:30 this morning to catch my 6:19 flight. The lack of a line at security threw my sleepy brain for a loop--I was counting on that time to get organized! The security agent was not amused at myWeiterlesen

We had a nice morning in Venice, with a continental breakfast in our hotel, then a wander through the neighborhood (in which we didn't get lost). I bought a postcard, wrote it, stamped it, and mailedWeiterlesen

Our tour guide was 9 years old during the war in Croatia. He and his classmates and teachers went to stay in a hotel on an island off the Croatian coast, where they would be safe from the bombing. Their parents stayed home, with no water or electricity for 6 months. He said he was aware of the war and that his parents were stressed, but the experience for him was an adventure, like a long field trip. What amazing parents and teachers, to work together to protect their children and their homes.
