What a trip to remember. As you were posting about the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries I was thinking about a book that I just read by Tracy Chevalier called The Lady and the Unicorn. It is mainly fiction but explained it the story of the tapestries and why they were each named such. It did an amazing job of talking about how they were woven. I think in the near future if I get back to that magical city I am going to read the book again so I can see the tapestries in a whole new light.<br />Thank you for the memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928106228705847361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-88239596009113908432016-11-15T17:42:36.398-08:002016-11-15T17:42:36.398-08:00Loved seeing and hearing about your travels.

But I was amazed at how much came back to me! Words, phrases, sentence structure. Enough to shop, get from point A to point B, etc. And, of course, many people there speak some English. I gather that if you leave the city, that can be tougher. It felt good to use some of my bits of French!shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-2395759769255641952016-11-15T09:36:13.421-08:002016-11-15T09:36:13.421-08:00Thanks, Irene!
