Odessa is called the pearl by the sea (port city), and Cuba is called the pearl of the sea (island). :) Off to read more about pearls.

BONJOUR ALEX! Oh dear friend, thank you for coming to visit and leaving such kind words. Soaring doesn't come unless you have a good point from which to launch and put all your energies to take flight. I am learning that, and there is no room for giving up or worrying that it will never happen. THANKS TO YOU and others that give EACH OTHER encouragement and advice. I so look forward to Thursday!

I cannot believe the striking resemblance to Paris! IT IS STUNNING and we have a lot to learn about each other! The architecture is unbelievable and the parks, the boulevards are reminiscent of quiet strolls along my favorite Parisian tours. Merci ma chère for sharing this bit of your life with us, and there is MORE TO COME, I just know it!<br /><br />A TOUT À L'HEURE!
