You were absolutely glowing in that picture from your graduation day! What a great memory and amazing persistence on your part to see it through to the end! That's the best feeling in the world to work

This is the route we'll take the next time, for sure. The prices are so inflated we don't want to get into a bidding war but we might get lucky! When it's meant to be I think it'll work out. This one was

Thank you! Yes, It's great to have those photos and memories. From what I understand the city has changed quite a bit since 2019. Hopefully the violence over there starts to calm down and people can live

It was like a dream! I'm glad you got to go on an adventure. It's definitely good for the soul. : ) Enjoy your weekend Edith!
