October 19, 2011. Artemas, Pa. Home Again.

We are delighted to be home although we thoroughly enjoyed our River Cruise.    The whole thing went off as planned.  Every village on the river was interesting and the walks were valuable and always in small groups.  Ken and I held up well with all the walking.  Neither Ken or I are in love with Europe.  There are so many people squeezed together that even the smaller towns and villages seem crowded, let alone the big cities.  We will be slow to return to Europe even though we enjoyed our trip.  I especially loved the old buildings and the Roman ruins.  They made the whole traveling worthwhile and enjoyable even though Ken struggled in Paris and Barcelona.

Now we are finding pleasure in the farm.  The hills are painted yellow and orange and bronze.  And we are enjoying the space and the quiet.   Eating all meals with other folks even when the people are pleasant and interesting is not normal for us.  The people on the cruise were all experienced travelers and we enjoyed meeting them.  Two couples especially we enjoyed and I will be interested if they keep in touch with us.

But we love North America and are happy to be home.
