Eavesdroppers

Eavesdropping Visitors


The inspiration for this blog came initially from one written in Spanish ("Blogudeces de la vida cotidiana") by Gustavo, a blogger from Argentina. I'm delighted he considers this blog to be the "English Cousin" to his. I also include stories and anecdotes when I have no eavesdroppings to report. All pictures are mine unless otherwise stated. If you would like to contribute your own eavesdroppings for inclusion here, please e-mail me on lonicera53@yahoo.com.
