Tishie Mae update

mom called tonight---she and Bert are in Andorra, a town in Italy just 50 miles away--they've had to stay there a few days to repair a problem with the rudder, but already mom is love with Italy--a few quotes: "The woman are fat!!" "They've got boobs and hips!" "The kids make noise and the moms yell at them to shut up!" (frenchie kids are eerily well behaved and silent.) "There's alot to be said for smiles!" (frenchies are notoriously straight-faced.) i think my prediction was correct--fairly soon she'll be moving to Italy. for now, they are happy to be heading further down the coast, rudder repaired, tomorrow morning.
