An unexpected opportunity came up for me to travel to Paris to meet my husband. We will spend Easter together in this fascinating city. This will be my last post other than my committed posts for LatinosUSA and Writing to be Read until my return on 8 April. If you celebrate, wishing you a blessed Easter.

These are some pictures I took while crossing Westminster Bridge in the taxi. It was so hot, all the windows were wide open. The traffic allowed for decent pictures.
This is my favourite photograph from Japan. It was also taken from a taxi. I opened the window much to the driver’s horror – haha!

Have a beautiful Easter, Robbie. A taxi driver reacted somewhat similarly in Lisbon the other day. Alone… yes, that’s pretty much it. Enjoy your partnership xx

Thank you, Jo. I’ve been thinking lately that one partner always passes first and one has to go on alone.

Fantastic poetry and great photos from the taxis, Roberta. I wonder why the Japan taxi driver was so frightened when you opened the window to take the photo.
