My Irish Setter Erin taking a break from our walk on the Arno River in Florence, Italy. Anno 1985. Erin was 15 years old. I got him when he was 8 weeks old.
In his lifetime, Erin traveled the United States, North Africa, Japan, and Europe. Not long after this photo, he would be on a plane with us to Japan, then back to Germany in 1986, where he died of old age at 17.
He’s buried in a Hun burial ground in the forest behind our house there north of Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany.

Great memories for the two of you. You have had many adventures around the world. The car looks like it could use some work……….Curt

That is a 1957 Citroen 2CV. All we could afford! I bought it for $200 in Northwestern France, and we drove it across the east coast of Spain to North Africa, then through North Africa and back through the middle of Spain and up the west coast of France. And I sold it for $200 about eight months later! It was an adventure to drive, to put it mildly.
