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.

      Thanks, Mark – it was a fun change of pace snapping from our hotel’s almost-rooftop breakfast room!

      Marina, thanks. :) It was a lovely afternoon to dream away while on the Delta, even though there was a ton of hustling and bustling going on around us!

    Love the hats photo. Very simple setting, but the oddity of both hats contributes to the whimsy of the photo. Have a good weekend. Cheers.

      Well said & thank you, Cabbie Notes! In which part of the world will the weekend find you? :)

        I’ll be enjoying the weekend in California. I’m looking forward to good warm weather and hopefully a lot of photo opportunities. Thanks for asking. Cheers.

        Enjoy! Here’s hoping you have sunny skies just as we did in Germany today. In Cali, I suspect that’s already the case, though. :)
