Madrid and the Train Ride to Zaragoza

The Pullman’s Peril

A story from the life and times of a suitcase — The Pullman was jerked up from the corner. “Oh, good God! What’s this? I was happy living in my peaceful place in the attic.

Our Motorcycle Trip to Florida

And where we shouldn’t have camped — Florida in September was warm and balmy, I discovered as we, my sister-in-law Alice and I, disembarked from the plane outside the terminal at Orlando.
