    1. I'm glad you found something interesting in my post today, Tara. When we visited he Eiffel Tower, we took the stairs, and thus avoided the lines, but what an exhausting trek that was! Thanks for stopping by...I hope you are enjoying the Challenge.

    1. Yes, penguins are sweet! Our family had the opportunity to see them up close and personal...in Patagonia this January. Our journey was the subject of a blog post that month. You can find the link in the right hand column. Thanks for commenting,
      Betty.
