What both amazes, and causes me to question my amazement, is how somewhere so incredibly far away from me, can still look so similar and familar to places I see near home.

One of the lessons I've learned in living overseas is that sometimes the places and people
you expect to be the most alien are actually the most similar and those you'd expect to
be similar can at times be the most alien.

Sometimes I think my coworkers ARE aliens.  ;) :D But seriously, I agree. I feel a little... uncultured... given that I've never gone overseas. The thought of being in a country where no one understands what I'm saying frightens me. But there are times when I see so many amazing things, that I hope someday to conquer that hurdle and travel. Someday! I hope!

Seph - I speak very little Russian.  When I first went overseas I only spoke English and  high school
Spanish, my first overseas country was Italy....I learned then that if you learn a very few words,
(please, thank you, etc.) and are polite and smile a lot, especially if you can laugh at yourself then
you'll be treated well by the majority of the people you meet. 

Also, you might be surprised at the number of people who speak a little English now days...in Western
Europe English has taken the place of French as the most common language spoken by people from
different countries.

In my experience, seeing Italy and France in person was worth the effort of learning some Italian and French.  :)

*Recalls her freshman French Teacher teaching her to say:  "Je suis Canadienne" LOL*   I am American, but in 1972, apparently you just shouldn't say that in France.   :o

I love the pictures people!  and that falcon is so wonderful to see.  Here in Kingston NY we actually have an established colony of Bald Eagles!  It used to be a rarity to even find an eagle, but now, you can see half a dozen if you go down by the River.  So wonderful.  And Wild Turkeys and Red Tail Hawks, and we are a city, people.  Smallest city in NY State. 

I have traveled a lot, and found that most people are nice, friendly and willing to be your friend if you are willing to be theirs. 

Thank you all for being so generous and sharing your art!

YAY! Great pics TC - I miss the open Markets!  There's one here but it's not the same, very Sovietski.
