Gina Roitman: In a blessing, I met "The One" -- Nancy -- "one in spirit" 53-years ago, and our love is as fresh as the first glance at the Christopher City swimming pool (Tucson).

What a beautiful story.

Provence -- what a WONDERFUL choice.

Learn German and move to Cologne (Köln). German is a cousin language to English. If you read the Brothers Grimm and listen to the Tageschau and watch a few "Krimis" every day, you will learn German well.

Köln is a WONDERFUL city, named so because it was a Colonius -- a colony of Rome.

Next to the Kölner Dom (Cathedral) is a wondrous Roman museum.

I LOVE the Rhineland, and if "The Love of My Life" only would, I would move to the Rheinpfalz near so many loved ones.

Yours is a wonderful story!

I also love Köln and have been there many, many times over the years but my Love chose to join me in Canada on the condition we go somewhere warm in the dead of winter. Several years ago, he became a Canadian citizen. Also, I do speak a rudimentary German but understand almost 80%.
