Hello friends, welcome, delighted that you are here today.

We're going to return to the life of one of my favorite first ladies.

I just love her because she is such an independent thinker and she was way before her time.

I shared a lot of details about her in episode 44 of this podcast.

An episode called 1100 strongly worded letters.

And so if you haven't listened to it yet, you can check that episode out.

It will give you a lot of biographical details about Abigail Adams.

We explored many of the letters Abigail wrote to her husband, John Adams,

when they were apart from each other.

But today I want to concentrate on one of the times when John and Abigail were together.

In particular, the years they spent living abroad during the first few years after the American Revolution.

So let's start again.

I'm Sharon McMan, and welcome to the Sharon Says So Podcast.

Remember all those special moments we spent together?

You're smiling the morning over in espresso.

Cozy afternoons curled up with a hot chocolate,

even keeping you up all night in towns and cities across the country.

We've been through a lot together over the years.

So how about we make some new memories over a coffee, our treat?
