Well, if your marriage can withstand the trials and tribulations of
traveling in foreign climes together it can withstand anything.

Miz Anne and I nearly divorced several times when we lived overseas for
five years. She wanted to go to every museum and art gallery on every
continent and I maintained that once we had looked at all the pictures
and statues of naked people there was nothing left worth seeing.

All the pictures taken on our last trip to France all show me sitting in
some sidewalk cafe smoking and drinking good coffee. All except the one
showing me flashing the statue of Eve in the Rodin garden. <BSEG>
