Dear Jean,
I am at a loss for words. I am afraid I will just use cliches in expressing my response to your photographs. They are breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for including me on your list of recipients.
Fondly,
Diana Lu

Dear Jean, I'm a friend of Sally Arteseros, going with her on August 23rd on the same trip you took. I am speechless at your photos. They are wonderful! And what a great way to whet my appetite. I'm already so excited about going. Everything makes me think that warm clothes will be essential!
Thanks for sharing your great photos!
Charlotte
