(20,411 posts)Will be in Spain this spring, then perhaps to Milan for the Worlds Fair in the fall. Perhaps some time in the South should be considered.
Florence . . . what a wonderful city. Absolutely beautiful. Just love Florence.
London - we were there this past June. Had a hotel very near the Tate and spent quite a few hours there. My Granddaughter just loved the Museum of Natural History. She did not want to leave.
However, my favorite city is by far Paris. To get to know the French, one has to get out of Paris into the countryside. Last year we spent two weeks on a working farm an hour outside of Paris. I really wanted our Granddaughter to get to know France beyond Paris. We went to the bakeries daily. To the meat market. To the various markets in the small towns. We would go into Paris one day . . . then off somewhere else the next . . . then back to Paris. A great way to get to know the French and see the country. Our "landlords" worked their farm daily. Spoke no English. But we were able to communicate just fine. My Granddaughter is now talking about college in Europe. I am thrilled that she is considering that.
So many things to see. So many wines to taste. So little time.
