On my very last day of work before heading to Europe, at the end of a singing group that I run for older adults, a most gentle and thoughtful member of my group threw a little package my way. Inside, was a little knit pink bear: "I made this yesterday - it´s for your trip". I was incredibly moved by this woman´s generosity, and I knew immediately that I would absolutely need to leave room in my pack for little Chauncey (what better name for a pink bear?) - such a wonderful reminder of the comforts of home!
While I have access to free internet at this hostel (only for a few more hours), I thought I would share a few photos. I am having technical difficulties with arranging them in chronological order, but I know you are all exceedingly smart people. In the pictures that follow, you will have a brief introduction to Chauncey, as well as to a few highlights of Eastern Europe thus far...Enjoy! xo

Hey Lizzy! It's Lemmy! Love reading about all your adventures - I'm travelling vicariously through you and of course, through little Chauncy. The pictures are wonderful. Sending you lots of love and praying that God will keep you safe in His arms.
ReplyDeleteLove you Lizzy. Take care and stay safe.

Hi Liz
ReplyDeleteSteve, from Lutherwood here! Sounds like an amazing trip so far - enjoy the adventure
If you get near Pompeii - worth going to the ruins, a very worthwhile trip is to the island of Capri - breathtaking - nice views of Mt. Etna as well - enjoy the journey - be safe
