Leanne What a trip you've all had! Great photos Maria! Have a safe journey home & we'll see you when you get here! Guess what? The weather is improving here in Edmonton so maybe you'll get to wear those summer clothes yet that you dragged around the world!!

Harvey & Louise It seems like our first day of summer has arrived! Victoria Weekend we had -5 yikes plus snow !!!!! Your lawn is mowed & looks brown in the front BUT green in the back! Loved your photos of Paris & Rome! Enjoy the great weather! My onions & radishes are up...Bruno put in his tomato plants today! Safe journey home!

Donna & Allan Sorry you two are not feeling to good, thank goodness you have a nurse along with you. Smokey is doing fine & coming out of hiding the last few days,she says HI!!!!. Have a good rest of trip & take care.

Maurice Salut, mes amis!! On this day (Victoria Day in Canada) it would be permitted to shout "Vive la Reine!", especially if you find yourselves in the Loire Valley. Have a great day. Boy! You guys sure do a lot of walking!~what a wonderful way to become truly familiar with the places that you visit. Take care out there and every now and then take a train!

Cheryl & Fred Ok, you are not allowed to complain about the weather!! We've had snow since you left and maybe more in the forecast. Yikes. Smokey says to say Hi (Meow). She is doing great. Had her over to our place for about 8 hours today. She came out of hiding and visited lots, ate her food and sat in the doorway on a chair and sniffed the fresh air for awhile. She is back at home now for the rest of the night. She should have a good sleep-probably exhausted from all the stress of being away from her stuff. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

Harvey & Louise Bonjour Maria! "I love Paris in the springtime! I love Paris in the fall!..." Thinking of you, you lucky girl! Hope it is all that you expected! Look out for those pinching monsieurs!!!

Leanne You go girl! What a feat... climbing those steps (on the London Bridge) in a mere 15mins! Our gym workouts are paying off eh?! Off to the gym... before it snows! Yes, snow!! My eyes are bulging out at the thought of snow!

Maurice GREETINGS TO MARIA, GAIL & MICHAEL TOO! IN THE LAND OF SNOW AND ICE (CANADA) , IT IS THE 'VICTORIA DAY' WEEKEND AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SNOW IN EDMONTON!
