Rosann Hickey Happy Birthday, Dear Cyrano...

I just happened to notice that today is the birthday of Rostand's character, apparently based on an historical person, who came from Bergerac. As Bergerac in the Dordogne...where we're going...soon. Coincidence?-- or --cue theme from the X-files!

Okay, seriously, we have been studying like crazy and find that the areas of interest chronographically are;
Pre-history- the geology, the caves, the troglodyte dwellings
Romans-ruins, bridges, roads, hoping for a relatively close aqued… Continue

Janet and Chuck Swiss Heartland (Post Season 2009)

Swiss Heartland (post-season) October 21 – November 4, 2009 On Wednesday, October 21, 2009, about 3pm, we stepped off the train in Sachseln, immediately recognizing our waiting host, Albert. Flying on Iberia Airlines – from Chicago (via Philadelphia) to Madrid – we used our AAFF miles and traveled business class. We recommend the airlines not just for the food, (it was hard to choose between beef tenderloin with chestnuts, shallots and pear with sweet wine sauce or black grouper with cock crest… Continue

Rosann Hickey Decisions, decisions

When one person travels, it's an adventure; when two people go, it's a negotiation!
It has become glaringly obvious over the past month that most of my previous traveling was done solo and that having only oneself to please certainly simplifies things.
The choice of area, the Dordogne, was made by my husband, whose brother made the trip with a Yale group 3 years ago. I was pretty sure I could enjoy anyplace where it would not be snowing and below 32 degrees in April, but the idea of seei… Continue

Bill Kover Photographing in snow

The snow scene outside our window this morning demanded that I take a walk with my camera. Shooting snow photos on auto setting will result in dark photos. The bright snow fools the light meter in the camera. So I checked what the auto setting was (shutter speed & aperture). I then switched to manual, kept the same shutter speed, but opened up the aperture two stops to lighten the photo. Even opening up two full stops wasn't enough. I had to further lighten the photo on the computer. Try sh… Continue

Joan and Bruce A Thimble-full of Memories

I requested a visit to the Fingerhut Thimble Museum. Bruce, always up to satisfy my eclec… Continue
