infirmary and in seeing their new neurosurgical wing which is still under construction just as we were sad to leave ire land we hated to leave scotland particularly edinburgh and the beautiful trossachs however wo still had much to see so we turned south again we stopped at gretna which is notorious as the marriage place for eloping couples in scots law if a declaration of marriage was made before two or more witnesses it was legal these marriages could take place anywhere in scotland and as gretna was the first village over the border it was the favour ite fou- runaway english couples

london to paris we had many preconceived ideas nt what paris would be like and some of them proved quite realistic oth ers were a little inaccurate in the daytime we walked and walked and then rested in the charming side walk cafes walking in paris was most rewarding and we certainly saw many interesting scenes it interested us to see the people on their way home with a long narrow loaf of bread without wrapper tucked under their arm at night pans takes on a new hue and becomes even more alive tlian in the div light hours pans is gay and colourful and wherever you go whether its a little cafe on the left hank or the fabulous lido nightclub people are happy and having fun and livnvsfor that moment in germany we drove al ong the autuban from frank furt to lanilstuh this is a super highway on
