Paris to Prague





















Thought you might like to see some of the really pretty sites we were able to enjoy on our river cruise. Castles, church spires, flowers and vineyards were an everyday occurence. And yes, we hiked as far as they will let you go on the Eiffel Tower. You'll see the American cemetery at Normandy, a truly sobering site. Contrast with the Hall of Mirrors at Versaille. Also Rodin's Thinker! Took lots of photos of the bakeries and street markets. Thanks Hugh, for this amazing experience!

What to Wear Pro!


Recently, Hugh and I embarked on a terrific adventure....Paris to Prague. Prior to our journey, Kate was visiting Utah for her "get out of the heat" annual trip. As she is such a fashionista, she helped me pack for my European adventure. It was so fun to go through the closet(s) (yes I have moved some clothing into the closets FORMERLY "owned" by my daughters. I get teased about it but I remind them who now owns those closets.) We sorted through possible candidates for the trip. Kate okayed and nixed the wardrobe and soon I had a whole list of outfits to wear. Ordinarily, I just pack a bunch of travel pants (think parachute pants) that are light weight and oh so comfortable. Kate would have none of that. I had to be coordinated every day. It was so fun to wake up every morning and know that I was going to look good! Her expertise also made it so that I actually took less clothing as many of the outfits worked together to make several different looks using the same clothes. The only problem was that most days, Hugh and I looked like we were going to totally different events every day. We're home now and back to the old wardrobe habits. I really miss looking coordinated and fashionable every day. Thanks Kate!
