I suspect I'd enjoy it a lot more now.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873652322915407206.post-80370144902136883242009-01-12T10:18:00.000-08:002009-01-12T10:18:00.000-08:00Sarah--How was Lainez's novel?

Maybe we should have the next HNS Conference in the Loire Valley...<BR/><BR/>BL--6 correct is great! I'm glad you like quizzes.

I've never been to Lusignan, but I've read a novel about the legend of Melusine (Manuel Mujica Lainez's The Wandering Unicorn), so I got that answer too :)<BR/><BR/>Your blog is giving me the serious urge to get on a plane...Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873652322915407206.post-73568139507086630702009-01-11T07:39:00.000-08:002009-01-11T07:39:00.000-08:00Answers to quiz:1.
