The summer disappeared, and now it’s practically the middle
of October, and I wonder where the time went. Then I realize, I put a house on
the market, sold the house, packed, moved to another state and spent three weeks in Europe in July-that is
where my summer went.
Now fall is upon us, the leaves are slowly changing color,
it’s cooler, rainy, a bit foggy in
places, and actually it’s my favorite time of the year because for me it is
also the beginning of the holiday season.
Friends are coming to visit for a few days next week, and
then we’ll drive to Myrtle Beach. I’ll be back in time to get ready for a trip
to Rome and my first transatlantic cruise; the cruise starts in Rome and ends
in Fort Lauderdale. I’m still celebrating my retirement last year.
There are unique stops on this cruise, I’ll visit Livorno,
Italy, the port for Florence, Italy and it will be my first visit to Florence-to
say I’m looking forward to it would be an understatement. The stops also
include Cartagena, Spain, Agadir, Morocco, and the Canary Islands. Then seven
days at sea, where I hope to make a real dent in A Hotel in Venice. I would love to finish the manuscript by the end
of this year.
In the meantime I’m looking forward to seeing the fall
colors in Virginia, and how the holidays are celebrated here. I’ve been told
that Williamsburg is beautifully decorated for Christmas, and it’s only a two
hour drive. I’m amazed how much there is to see in this part of the country, and
it is all relatively close.
This morning I finally took a look at the pictures from the
July trip, and will share some with you. I plan on writing a few blogs about
the places I visited. The one that stood out by far is Malta-I want to go back
and spend some time there, a week or two would be perfect.
Cheers,
Margot
