Treasuring the things we take for granted\u2026.Remember travel? I come from the American Express check era. The first foreign country I spent time in was Italy. \u00a0In Piazza di\u00a0 <\/span>Spagna\u00a0 <\/span>there was an American Express office and I stood in line with many others to cash the check\u00a0 <\/span>and to change to lira. 600 Lira were the equivalent of a dollar.\u00a0 <\/span>The Italian currency was gorgeous and enormous. The 10,000 lira note was like a billboard. The 500 lira coin was beautiful, heavy metal. Change was scarce so we were often given candies, trinkets instead. Very annoying\u00a0 <\/span>at the time but a funny memory. I lived in a Victorian house off Via Salaria. My roommates and I took the octagonal elevator with etched windows and a padded seat to the fifth floor after we had fed a coin machine in the elevator several 10 lira coins and smacked the machine sharply.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Another travel memory: the Egyptian House in Penzance. This is enchanting. It\u2019s been owned by the Landmark Trust since the 1970s and was built in the 1850s, shortly after Napoleon\u2019s conquest of Egypt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
