TO BE CONT'D.........

Learn a Foreign Language

It appears that Dutch will be THE language since I strongly believe that if you are going to live in a country, you should learn to speak the language. There are many reasons I became only partially fluent in Dutch, but my goal is now fluency. If I am able to progress to that point, I would LOVE to also learn French and German!

What have I accomplished so far in travel:

1. Saw Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.

2. Visited the Greek islands of Mykonos, Santorini and Rhodes.

3. Sailed the Nile River.

4. Visited the Eiffel Tower and had dinner in the tower.

5. Kissed in Paris.

6. Christmas Markets in Germany.

7. Viewed Iguazu Falls from Brazil and Argentina.

8. Ate Argentinian beef.

9. Toured San Francisco with friends in a limousine.

10. Sailed across the Atlantic from Europe to NYC.

11. Rode a revolving cable car to the highest point in Bavaria....Zugspitz.
