Here we are again. Christmas is coming and New Year is just around the corner and the virus is still here. Will it ever go away? It has been almost two years and it keeps coming back. It is the fifth way they say. I am so ready to travel as I have never been. All that beautiful places to visit and visit friends and nice people that work with me. Maybe, just maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I wish everybody a very nice and merry Christmas and the great New Year 2022 with the hope to travel again and go back to our normal lives. Yours, Nina Turek and elgrouptoursusa@yahoo.com

Sagrada Familia - Barcelona Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (1852 –1926) was a Catalan architect. Gaudí’s works are one of the most unique and distinctive architectural styles. Most are located in Barcelona including his main work, the church of the Sagrada Familia. His masterpiece, the still-incomplete Sagrada Familia, is the most-visited monument in Spain. Seven of Gaudi’s works were declared World Heritage sites by UNESCO. I am a storyteller. True or not this is my story, Nina Skrpec

Let them eat cake was the sentence that describes Marie Antoinette the Queen of France in so many people's minds. Supposedly she said that during one of the famines in France while her husband was a king. It was not known during her life but surfaced much later as a symbol of how bad the aristocracy was suppressing the regular people. It is almost certain that she never said such a thing. She did a lot of charity. The newspapers and pamphlets, at the time, smearing her were vitriolic.   Marie Antoinette was born in 1755 and was a daughter of Austro - Hungarian Empress Maria Theresia and a sister to the future Emperor Josef II. She was married off at the age of 14 to the crown prince, Dauphin of France, age 15, who did not consummate the marriage for 7 years. During those years she was frivolous and spending a lot of money on jewelry, clothes, shoes, and other things. When the marriage was finally consummated and she had her first child, a daughter, she changed. Her bills were one-third of what she was spending before. She had 1 more daughter and 2 more boys. The second daughter died as a baby, the older boy
