The quotation at the top of the page is a keeper. Spot on.

Hello Jane,,,I have so enjoyed all of your photos..starting with Barcelona and, especially the Golden Gate Bridge…and then we saw the “copy” in Lisbon. I love seeing what we have already seen….and then to learn from what we have not. We used at least five of your restaurant suggestions in Barcelona and thought the Majestic was The best. Thanks for all your pictures and suggestions… Lee Anne Sent from my iPad
