#7 WHERE IN THE WORLD are J&J?
This city is the mythological site of Jason and the Golden Fleece. In its grander squares, 19th century buildings are newly renovated. Most people live in 1950’s style apartments and shop in open markets. We visited churches, parks, and a museum. The people are very proud of their independence and are working hard to move their country forward. Students performed dances in their traditional dress at dockside.
#6 WHERE IN THE WORLD are J&J?
Our next stop took us to this seaside resort famous for its sanitariums, cypress tree lined parks and beaches. We drove into the mountains to see the future site of the 2014 winter Olympics. This old wooden house was once the typical style of the country. Its former leader lived in this house during the summer, painted green to camouflage its location.

#5 WHERE IN THE WORLD are J and J?
We have arrived in a CITY of stark contrasts. Within this museum building were evidences of its multiple uses over 1500 years. We are dwarfed by both its height and width. You can get lost amongst the 4000 shops under one roof where everything from sweets and spices to jewelry and ceramics are sold. The local drink is healthy but everyone smokes in spite of bold “ Smoking Kills” on the cartons. As we leave this grand city, we are off to more exotic destinations.

#1 WHERE IN THE WORLD are J&J
We are traveling with Jack's sister and BIL to where their mother was born and their grandparents emigrated to the USA from in 1926. It was fun to trace their roots.
We drove into the countryside just north of this CITY to see this village "on the B B banks of L L".
This CITY is located on the Firth of Clyde.
Here we are with the Poet B. B.

My FIESTA Package Arrived
Bumble Beans sent these wonderful fabrics thanks to Jennifer Paganelli. I get to participate in another charity quilt! This time Victoria wants POW, ZING and WOW using applique and our own choice of design. My inspiration will come from the fabric designs themselves, my current project Mary Mannakee, and from Janet at Quiltsalott.
Thank you Victoria for your vote of confidence.
