I was THERE!

This photo was on Twitter this morning and reminded me of my trip to Europe a little over three years ago.  We got there by paddle boat.  Such wonderful memories - unsullied by smoke, too!

Here is the poem written by Lord Byron describing his incarceration in the cellar of this castle when it was used as a prison:  https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43842/the-prisoner-of-chillon.  I saw the column to which he was chained - and saw the imprint on the stone as he walked 'round and 'round it.  My daughter made me read the poem (all of it!) the night before we went there.

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
