Of course, I am also bedazzled by your photos and the whole notion of a home on wheels.<br /><br />I will surely follow up and visit the Hermitage and the other sites.<br /><br />Your description of your mobile phone did make me smile knowingly. When I became a shop manager, friends gave me such a rudimentary little device (Virgin mobile very apt name.) It was a bit of a joke ... how I would be needing to be reachable at all times. Well, I almost never take that little phone with me, yet every now and then it has proved very handy.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-11551755542915775882009-07-05T21:51:50.768+01:002009-07-05T21:51:50.768+01:00What a perfect house on wheels - full of comforts ...What a perfect house on wheels - full of comforts and treasures.

My relatives as far back as I can research, were all watermen, and my great grandmother practically grew up on board a barge even though she never learned to swim.

Actually I th...Thanks for catching me up with Rima. Actually I think you do experience wanderlust. Here is the definition.<br />The term forms from the German words wandern (to hike) and Lust (desire). The term wandern is frequently misused as a false cognate, it in fact does not mean "to wander", but rather "to hike". Placing the two words together translates to "to enjoy hiking", although is commonly described as an enjoyment of strolling or wandering.d. moll, l.ac.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16007607538375968631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-87308053337202229772009-07-04T14:25:06.122+01:002009-07-04T14:25:06.122+01:00Two of my favourite bloggies together in one post,...Two of my favourite bloggies together in one post, what more bliss can there be?
