Do post more. I would love to see them and I think others would, also. You always have interesting commentary with your photos.
Travel by train...I love to do that in Europe, not so much in the US. I'm not sure why. Maybe the trains aren't so nice, or maybe because on European trains I get to listen to chatter in unfamiliar languages and observe customs that are new to me. The train becomes an important part of the cultural experience.
In '68 I traveled with my sister's friend, who had free time. I was a student at NYU. We had very little money, so went on a true shoestring budget for the summer. It was a strange trip. We spent most of our time in Cadiz, Spain and visited Rome only briefly on our way home. The second trip, in '72, was quite different. I let my mother call the shots. In Italy, she wanted to see the Vatican and Venice, and so that's what we did. Trains everywhere, of course. I think that trip turned into a very unusual experience and may be worth a blog. I will save the remarkable parts (yes, remarkable, even historic) for the blog 😎 Thanks for the inspiration to write it!!
I'm looking forward to another travel blog from you, with more pictures.
I hope you are refreshed from your journey and ready for the more mundane challenges of everyday life.
Love,
Your NY friend,
AG
Oh, yeah, do that. I am glad that you are thinking of writing about your journey with your mother. That interests me very much, all the more with the history behind it. When you made your journeys, I wasn't even in the world or two years old :) Unimaginable!
I picked out some more photos, but I don't know what to write about them yet. Let's see.
Warm greetings and kisses!
Actually, I would have upvoted your great article, but it's already too old so that I decided to reward one of your comments instead. :)
Oh, that got me by surprise! Thank you very much!! Glad, that you liked it. :-D
