One of the disadvantages of traveling alone is that most of the single rooms are in the back of the hotel, as was the case with every single place I stayed on this trip, although it didn't really matter much, since I was rarely ever in any of them except for a few hours of sleep. As I was packing up on my last night (or should I say, earliest hours of the morning) in Paris, I noticed that one of the little half-sized windows in my room opened up to a tiny terrace, so I decided to climb out and have a look. And there, between the chimney pots, were the towers of Notre Dame. I love surprises, and Paris is always full of them...

I LOVE that you took 1700 photos. I love the fact that you REMEMBER all the cultural places you saw, the restuarants you ate at, ALL the various books you read, the incredible stamina to fit in a DAY trip to Venice. And most of all, I love reading your colorful stories and I love the inspiration you give me to do these things! I also love how beautiful your blog is - you give me inspiration to try and develop mine into something even more. Even a computer diary becomes beautiful when you are putting it together! You've got it all Mona Helen. Now, print this comment out for James so he can be reminded of what a catch he has!
