About the author

Hi! My name is Tricia Mitchell. I delight in telling stories about my slow travels through more than 65 countries. Some of my highlights have included sharing meals with locals in Armenia, Cambodia, and Tunisia; sipping sparkling wine with French cousins in Alsace; milking goats in a sleepy Bulgarian village; and training with a Japanese mine-clearance team in Laos. My husband, Shawn, and I are based in France’s Loire Valley.

    Ha ha ha…the added fig leaf. If I remember correctly, Athens remains leafless.

      Admittedly, I must brush up on my Greek mythology! I like the way the sun burst through on this one, though. If you haven’t yet been to Versailles, I highly recommend it, Karen! We’d always opted for Paris instead, but strolling through the gardens on a hot autumn day was a real treat.
