First, there’s the FICTION.

Ahhh, just the thought of Mr. Darcy on his tour of the continent (you know he took a grand tour of his own) conjures fabulous images:

Athens, 1813

– Mr. Darcy, hands on hips, admiring the Parthenon

– Mr. Darcy climbing the steps of the Coliseum (in his breeches and boots)

– Mr. Darcy drinking a glass of wine at a villa in Spain.

Then, there’s the REALITY.

Reality is, I’m on a grand tour of my own right now: A Grand Blog Tour. Almost as much fun as touring the sites on the Continent, only I don’t get to leave my computer. However, I am enjoying the view from various bloggers’ sites. Meeting new people from all over has been a perk!

Join me on my GRAND BLOG TOUR:
