  1. Hello Beulah & Mel,
    I love the pictures & commentary. Can we get more shots of the two of you in front of these historic places? I think that would be neat. I can't wait to see what is on the agenda for tomorrow:) Love you both.

  2. Hey Beulah and Melanie-

    Looks like you are both having a great time! We would also enjoy more pics with both of you- and perhaps with natives in their native dress?!

    Love- Bethany, Sig and Isabelle

  3. The Hall of Mirrors was being renovated when we were there and all covered up. We're so glad it's done, for your sake! It's nice to see a picture of it. We love your updates. You must be pretty tired by the end of the day so we appreciate the effort all the more. Stand in line for those pastries at the base of the Tower - it's worth it!
