Trying to clear out email boxes before I move to a long-term care facility near my middle daughter outside of Nashville, TN. Yes, we have been very fortunate, you and I! My traveling days are over, I think, but I can revisit them now through writing!

Yes it depends on the part of the country - we drove for many miles along the edge of the vast central desert region but the road to Abyaneh for example was lush with vegetation and beautiful autumnal colours of many trees in a greener landscape.

I think it was Augustine who said something along the lines that the world is a book and he who does not travel only opens one page. We have been so fortunate you and I to be able to open so many pages between us.

As a veggie I did OK although disappointed that I did not see the best of what I am sure they do cook for veggies - perhaps because we went as a group. In one restaurant they just fished the meat out of a stew and tried to pass it off as a veggie dish but I caught them out on that one when I found a small piece of chicken in it!! I certainly did not go hungry though.Eleanor Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388151576836128132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061014209478621266.post-35717679439223721052016-12-01T12:34:36.691+00:002016-12-01T12:34:36.691+00:00This is fascinating.

On 26 September 1687, an Ottoman ammunition dump inside the building was ignited by Venetian bombardment. The resulting explosion severely damaged the Parthenon and its sculptures." Perhaps this is what you are thinking of. I had not picked that up until now. Thank you. Eleanor Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388151576836128132noreply@blogger.com
