June 12th, 2012 Frances It’s raining, it’s pouring . . . and It’s 10:00pm and I was just reading an article by Cathy Brown at www.escapeartist.com about a mother and her 13 year old son who have been traveling for three years and have no intention of stopping. You can enjoy a wonderful article at www.raisingmiro.com . Yes, indeed, [...]
May 6th, 2012 Frances Are there nights when you can’t sleep? And you don’t want to be bleary-eyed in the morning so you refuse to take over-the-counter pills. The first thought that comes to mind to insure a good night’s sleep is to eliminate watching, reading, or thinking about anything that smacks of violence, or anything that causes stress [...]
November 19th, 2011 Frances At this time of the year many of us, for different reasons, leave the bright lights and merriment of our own hometown to travel abroad. We go for various reasons: we don’t want to be alone in familiar surroundings, we’re thinking that, at this point in time, we’re not compatible with family, we’re grieving and [...]

The three Amtrak employees at the counter couldn’t agree on the reason it was late or exactly when it was coming. Okay. And so the train came and we ticket holders lined up [...]
April 7th, 2011 Frances I’M OFF THEN by Hape Kerkeling Have you ever thought about hiking the Camino de Santiago? No matter if you have or haven’t, I’M OFF THEN is a delightful travel book; it’s very funny and very honest. The writer freely shares what he’s feeling and learning, and the thoughts that arise on his spiritual journey. [...]
April 20th, 2009 Frances I’ve been thinking about where I would go IF I were going somewhere outside the USA. When I read Adrian Leeds eletters, I want to right away gather my things and be on my way. She lives in France and is very honest about how it is to live there. Her love for that area [...]
August 25th, 2008 Frances For many people Labor Day means closing a beach house, or leaving a rented villa in a beautiful European city, or summer day outings with family and friends, or, shall I count the endless vacation choices? Better not, you say. Okay, I understand; I won’t. In any event, it’s time to head back to a [...]
January 7th, 2008 Michael I hope anyone reading this was able to welcome in the New Year around family, friends and loved ones. Mom, thanks for making the trip. It was wonderful as always having you with us. I’m thinking that Taverna Agora may become a family spot… Good things coming for all of us in 2008!
December 11th, 2007 Frances Do you need a reminder that the holidays are coming? Just teasing. Philadelphia is a sweet, doable city. And the information collected at this time as I’m trying to learn about this city is not necessarily written in stone. For instance, someone said there are no movie theaters in center city. But, as I walked [...]
