  8. Susan, I so enjoyed reading this wonderful journal of your trip -- thank you so much for posting it! Your descriptions, sketches and photos made me feel like I was there, too! I'm glad you were able to bring Quiet Mouse, and that he understood that things can get a bit bumpy while on such an adventure!

    P.S. May I be in the traveling illustrator group? :-)

  9. Thanks Kris! Quiet mouse was a nice companion, uncomplaining despite everything. The best kind of travel partner, but kind of hard to talk to. ("quiet") Now, an ILLUSTRATOR group... We would have tons to talk about, no need for silence, only patience and good humor! Absolutely, you should be part of the traveling illustrator group! Can you imagine how much fun we would all have?!

  10. Susan, I am SO glad we reconnected on Facebook and I got to see (and read) this lovely journal. Your words, drawings and photos go so well together. You should consider doing a travel guide this way - seriously!

    It was so wonderful meeting you in Bologna, and I am glad we can keep in touch for real now. :-)
