Dear Anna,

Thank you!  I’m glad you enjoyed my pictures on Facebook. Yes, it was fun!  My favorite times were visiting Rembrandt’s home and sipping mint tea in a cafe with Dr. Baer.  My visit to Amsterdam and Antwerp was amazing.  I was treated with kindness and the utmost respect.  I admit, I was a bit nervous at first.  I wasn’t quite sure how my story would be accepted.  I wasn’t even sure that I would be accepted, and not only was I, all the people I met were wonderful to me.  I felt special at a time when I was still wondering whether sharing my story was the right thing to do.

I love traveling and hope to visit each country that my story has been published. I’m not sure if that will ever be a possibility, but I can dream.

Thank you for believing in me. I am touched by your kind thoughts.

Have a great day!

Karen
