Such a lovely post and beautiful pictures! I can relate to the feeling of traveling. I have traveled a lot in my life, sometimes unplanned (like last week, when I had to travel to France for a funeral) and most of the times, planned. Yes, that feeling of coming out of the plane, totally jet lagged and foggy brained and looking around at the most mundane things with new eyes. For me, London is also smells. Enjoy every moment. Sofia is a beautiful young woman. Your family is inspiring.

Hi Andrea, so happy to hear from you ... it’s wonderful to follow your adventures in London. Thank you for sharing !!! I really hear your heartfelt voice and personality come through to me. It helps me stay in the moment as I sit on my porch in Maine looking at the glorious garden, and listening to the birds singing. I just can’t wait to hear more.❤️

Your daughter is gorgeous! I love seeing the difference in agricultural landscaping when traveling - the structure of Paris, even the trees in cubes compared to the wild, disorderly beauty in England. Enjoy yourselves

Yes! I saw the vision immediately in my minds eye of the orderly shrubs in Paris compared to England.

This post gave me such insight as I prepare for a summer trip across the country with our two boys. As I pack, we have been filled with nostalgia for the places we last went four years ago pre-pandemic. This is a perfect reminder that we are not the we of memory, and that life is full of change. It reminds me of the poem, " Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth written in 1798. Oh to be human. Oh to hold on and let go again and again.... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45527/lines-composed-a-few-miles-above-tintern-abbey-on-revisiting-the-banks-of-the-wye-during-a-tour-july-13-1798
