Flat Milly And Pat Go To Japan

Here are two of my favorite photos from Japan. One is the Golden Temple in Kyoto, Japan, and the other is a picture of my husband Steve and his daughter Brooke (my step-daughter) posing on "Philosopher's Walk" in Kyoto.

This is a very famous, ancient rock garden in Kyoto, and a traditional tea shop, also in Kyoto.

This is another very famous temple, and the second picture is a garden in a village on the tiny Japanese island off the coast of South Korea where my step-daughter taught English for a year to junior high and high school kids!

Flat Milly visits Armenia with Pat

Flat Milly, Pat & friend


"I'm happy to share my special memories of Armenia with you! I used to go there two and three times a year between 2000 and 2005. I grew to love the place, the people, and formed friendships with two wonderful Armenian women that I still correspond with. I guess I was interested in the country early on after hearing stories from the Mousians, Mum's neighbors across the street."

"I'm sending you several pictures of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. It is an ancient city and I am hoping hoping hoping that they don't destroy all the ambiance and low buildings at human scale in the name of modernization!"
