Here’s another Christmas letter, this time expanded to six pages because it includes our Grand Tour of Europe, exactly twenty years ago in May and June of 2000, when my husband retired from Emirates Airline.  

Paintings of Triglav National Park in Slovenia, Pompei in Italy, the top of the Little St. Bernard Pass near the Italian-French border, Les Baux and Puycelsi in France, and the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain have been added to the original letter.
