In America it seems like we tear down everything new to build a new parking garage. In Europe you can walk down a street and see a new shop on one side and a cathedral from the 1700s on the other. It's such a great mix of old and new.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-81555346286152431012011-06-13T17:27:04.175-04:002011-06-13T17:27:04.175-04:00I love the Brits, too!

The only thing missing is seeing it! :) The city I've felt most connected to that I have visited was undoubtedly Florence, but Nice is a close second. I had the best time, with the BEST travel companion! :)<br />CareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-1976521262578217522011-06-13T12:29:26.469-04:002011-06-13T12:29:26.469-04:00Bybee - I hpoe you go one day, you'll love it!...Bybee - I hpoe you go one day, you'll love it!<br /><br />Mumsy - Yes!

I loved Scotland, it was so beautiful! I also loved the aspect of walking every where. That's how it was in London and we just don't do that in America.

It's so serene. I have a river that runs right behind my back garden. I love walking everywhere now. I would stay here much longer if I had family nearby.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-18894698172308001902011-06-10T07:07:11.626-04:002011-06-10T07:07:11.626-04:00Beautiful!
