In this podcast: Our adventures at Château de Candes, a private chef experience in Paris, and yes, we've turned into a food podcast (recorded 9/5/25 in Paris)
Many cliched things but one I regret the most was riding an elephant in India . I have since heard how badly they are treated and now send money monthly to a Wildlife rescue in India Wildlife SOS
It would’ve been kissing the blarney stone, but I couldn’t see sharing everyone’s saliva with me. Both of us we’d have to say a gondola ride in Venice.
In the 50's..my first visit to Jerusalem..just returned from Bethlehem where i bought lots of rosaries;still in a bag..we were at the upper floor of the Church of the SEPULCHRE..At that time, peole could kneel close to the altar and touch the area where the Holy Crucifix was buried...I started to place each rosary into the hole to get special blessing for my souvenir rosaries...did not realize that a person next to me, was watching me everytime I pulled out each rosary!.then she started to do the same thing, but did not show any rosary.began to realize she thought I was experiencing miracle...pulling rosary from the hole/ while she was empty handed/without rosary.
