About Me

ABOUT ME
I am very young in my heart even at 66. I love life. Just retired in Jan. 2017.
Curious about different countries and their way of living. I learned a little bit of spanish, german and italian and I love it.
My new loves are now 7 years and 5 years old. They are my grandsons, Esteban and Nathan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Lima, Peru, I stayed with an old lady for a week. She only spoke spanish with me, but one day , I was tired and could not understand her. So she spoke to me in perfect english. I was so surprised. She wanted me to practice her language and that was wonderful. Every day she would explain patiently how to get to different places in town. God knows how many buses there are in this city.....wow.
In Turkey, as I am very curious, I was at the top of a rock overlooking the great panorama. As I turned around to go back I felt dizzy, but lucky enough 2 men, guardians or soldiers ???? gave me a hand to come back to a safer place....ouf!
