Well, that's not true - I love parts of Venice. I love to pop over to Venice from Lido (I love the louche feel of the Hotel des Bains - I keep expecting Claude Rains to come down the stairs!). Venice itself creeps me out if I'm there for any length of time ( it's been 9000 years since I've been there, alas). I don't get to go anywhere any more. All I do is work. Hoping that changes for the better, soon. That poor little thief didn't get that bag - he couldn't hoist it up far enough! A atrapping friend of my friend simply took the kid by the scruff of the neck and removed the straps from his now-numb hands. Then he let him go. They figured he'd suffered enough, just trying to get the bag, LOL! You've lived in some lovely places! I miss living in and going to interesting and lovely places....<sigh> I love Venice.

Can you imagine that I lived in Toronto ON for 6 years and never crossed the southern border..>"< Well had plans to go to NYC amongst others but then the unfortunate thing happened at 9/11 and after that the atmosphere just did not feel right. Heard too many stories from people who had to go to the neighbours in the south and who had a very hard time to cross it for whatever reasons. Then I decided that Canada was still big enough a place to enjoy and the atmosphere there was less tensed. I flew over the us of a to the Dominican Republic. That was very pleasant but a resort felt somehow like a ghetto for the wealthy and just travelling around was not a good idea. Hotel Splendido in Portofino is a wonderful idea. I guess that you have been there. This summer my DH and I plan to go to Italy this summer, yes just south of Genua or to the French/Italian Border, Menton. First we go back to Venice in May for a week. Venice is not a very long drive from Prague. Oh well just wait untill we are in april-may and by then the climate will feel a lot warmer. BTW also lived in Morocco in the '80s and can so very well imagine your friend being robbed from her too heavy bag..and the thief dragging it with him as fast as he could... life can be so hard for tourists...;) I guess that 'my way out' for the moment is enjoying all the lovely and wonderful perfumes and discovering them is also a bit like travelling.

Got my purse picked on the Pont Neuf, first time I was there. They didn't get my wallet - they got my cosmetic bag! Oh, no!!!!!! Luckily Galleries Lafeyette was still open. Can't go to dinner without eyeliner. I don't think of Paris this time of year because it's still too cold for me - I love Paris in late September,early October. Perfection! La Cote is just starting to wake up after its winter snooze... Monaco is just...silly..but in a lovely, fun way. It's one of those places where you really can see what an excess of money and a limited amount of taste can do (n.b. to any Monagasque reading this: not YOU, the folks who visit you:-)...but it is pretty. You need to get out of Prague for awhile and come visit us here in the States...or we can meet at the Hotel Splendido, in Portofino (don't get me started...) I'll pass on your invaluable Prague info, though she's relatively travel-savvy (I don't know where she carries her valuables - her purse is incredibly heavy - it would take the Incredible Hulk to lift it. In fact a little kid in Morocco tried to boost it off her shoulder and nearly fell over!LOL!!!) btw - I love your idea for bear-oriented fragrances. You'd be the best-smelling bear in the woods!!

Hope that she knows that taking streetcars no. 20 and 22 in the very centre is hazardous because of the many pickpockets. Hope that she doesn't carry some handbag but puts everything important close to her body in her coat or the pockets of her jeans. And of course she has to know the phonenr. of the American Embassy in case of any emergency. Police and other emergencies have phonenr.: 112 and NOT: 911. You a Monaco kind of girl...? For some reason I thought of Paris and yes the Cote d'Azur and then of course the Italian Riviera. Monaco that is Lamborghini's, overtipping, paying too much for even the basic needs in life. ;D Mamabear, and I hope that your friend has a very good time in Prague.

There is something about Grizlies that appeals to me like the way they hang around at a river to catch some salmon, the way how they impress human beings... It's that they just have to be there and they simply are themselves and impressive by nature. It must be ' being high on the food chain too'. I have very good feelings about bears.
