Armchair travels

Well, I've been doing some armchair traveling lately. First, I went to the Alpine regions of Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and France with Rick Steves. I've seen pictures from the Alps before--but every time I see them they take my breath away. There is a lot to do in that area. I would love to have at least 2 weeks to see the whole area. It would be a good time to see a lot of countries at one time. You only have 3 languages to practice--French, Italian and German.

When that video was over I did some traveling in the United States with Lucy. Traveling with Lucy isn't quite the same as with Rick Steves. Lucy doesn't really take you out and about to see the sights--but she is funny. I went along with her on her California trip. Now, we are back in New York but soon we will be leaving with Lucy for Europe.
