In case you missed it, we just wanted to give you a reminder that we have two trips in the latter

part of the year that have opened for ticket sales. In August, we are taking a trip through the Loire

Valley to meet up with the likes of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Catherine D'Medici. And in October,

we return to Italy, where we will eat our weight in gelato, very important, and visit

with Catherine Domenici again. That lady really got around. Visit like minds travel, click on

group tours for information and to register. We hope to see you there. Welcome to the history
