What people are saying:
~ It has given me time for reflection, living in the moment. I will
   look for “well being” and laugh more often as a result.
~ I will take home from this trip to slow down, to create a more
   cozy garden space and to save money for another trip!!
~ I love the way you and Bill organized the trip and all your
   attention to detail, making us feel so at home.
~ The opportunity to examine “from the inside out” gave the city
   a far greater depth than would have been possible otherwise.
~ How else could I:
   Go behind the scenes with an elected council woman?
   Cook and gourmand at Zeppelin Restaurant?
   Visit a vineyard, meet the vintner, taste the wines?
   Begin to feel connected to this city and my own home place
   in a new way?
