<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8110534, member: 100459&quot;]I really enjoyed looking at all of your Romulus and Remus coins.&nbsp; The first time I ever heard of them, I was about 8 years old in 1955.&nbsp; My father was in Germany and he took leave and took us all over Europe.&nbsp; He took many pictures while we were travelling.&nbsp; It was quite a thrill to travel through all of the historical sites.</p><p>In 1965, right after I graduated from high school, I decided that I would like to travel through Europe by myself.&nbsp; At 17, you think you are invincible, so off I go.&nbsp; I found that Germany, Switzerland, and Italy was absolutely beautiful.&nbsp; (I lived in France during my senior year of high school.&nbsp; I found them rude and hateful.)&nbsp; During 1965, I was able to re-step where I had been in my younger years.&nbsp; I returned to Paris (Paris is not like the rest of France, any more than New York is not like the rest of the U.S.) Anyway, I was able to go to the top of the Eifle Tower again.&nbsp; I went to the fountain that was made a historic site from the movie, &quot;Three Coins in a Fountain&quot; I went to Rome again.&nbsp; There was some modernization, but it was as beautiful as it ever was and the people tried to stuff me up with spagetti. (I was 6&#039;2&quot; and 140 pounds.)&nbsp; I was invited to eat with a family I met.&nbsp; They had a daughter and I think they were trying to get her to marry a rich American.&nbsp; Due to my schedule (and my fear), I had to decline. Whew!&nbsp; The next great trek was to Pisa, to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.&nbsp; I saw it 9 years earlier, but it still had its majesty.</p><p>I&#039;m not a collector of antique coins or foreign coins, but I want to thank you all for showing your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
