This letter will be much like last year's letter. Since I have pretty much achieved the life I want, as long as there are no glitches, it continues to be terrific. The apartment continues to be wonderful. The west side is perfect -- close to everything or nearly so. My tiny terrace garden continues to be fun, although I hav e gi ven up on annuals. I hav e lost a total of six cl ematis in four year s, so (sob) no more. And again I walked 1000 miles this year. My trips this year were excellent. In April I repeated the Burgundy, Franche Comte and Geneva trip that I had so loved in 2014. If it is good, why not repeat it, so I did. It was just as much fun and the food was excellent for the most part. Trois Gros continued as the standout restaurant in that area. Also the much smaller and more remote Jeunet in Arbois was worth a journey. That trip ended in Geneva, and I flew immediately to Munich where I had not been since the mid 1970's. Much to se e. The trip continued to Prague and ended..
