I'm only an hour's train ride away from our capital and I try to visit at least twice a year, often more. I love the art galleries, museums, theatres, markets and architecture. I started visiting solo when I was 15, trailed my 2 daughters around when they were young and still find things I haven't seen before 50 years later. My daughters have taken up the baton and regularly visit with their children, getting the next generation enthused in our heritage. joanoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428621316534143954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51410629860885340532014-08-05T06:00:22.442-04:002014-08-05T06:00:22.442-04:00Bonnie, I for one would like to
