Good to visit with you last night. Forgot to ask if you remembered to pick up the framed needlepoints in Miracle Mile? This is one of Van Gogh’s nice ones – I’m trying to find a print I can hang on the laundry door in my kitchen! Or another as nice. We got a mirror (and dresser) for the guest room – all ready for Jean and Tom. Raining and much cooler today.
Love to you, Va

Great news that you’re coming to this part of the world! We’ll definitely make plans (since mine are so loose).
Italy was fabulous – Florence, Bologna, Venice, Art, Wine, churches, wine, pizza and wine! I want to go back, a week was too short. Some of my art history came back but I was overwhelmed by the beauty and site of the churches. Great too to stand in front of a Botticelli!!
I’m loving Slovakia – time is flying. Off to Poland for Easter, should be vey interesting!
Ciao! Love, Liz

Mom,
Bruges has been a nice break and recovery from Bujumbura. Very pretty and decorated for Christmas. Definitely worth the visit and like the movie. Climbed up the tower today. It keeps going and going.
Love, Noah
