    About this ebook

    We were ready to flit through Paris, but mother mentioned the Chunnel Train and drifting down the Grand Canal of Venice.  What about Paris?  That’s how the “roundabout” began.  London, the train, a Bed and Breakfast in Paris, driving south to Aix en Provence and fumbling onto a Marseille train at dawn on our way to Rome.  And then a bus tour to Assisi, Florence, Padua and finally in Venice.  And then we learned the tour ENDED IN VENICE. And we were supposed to fly home from Rome!
