This begins a blog that will chronicle the return to Europe of Louise and Ray DeTournay.  It will tag along as we complete a tour that began in the summer of 2011.  The Blog, “Second Honeymoon, Same Car” followed our meanderings in the 1954 MG-TF  purchased on our honeymoon some 53 years previous.  One intent of that trip was to create a sentimental journey along the paths we followed in 1958 plus travel to places that were difficult to visit during the Cold War. Those would include Berlin, Dresden, Prague and Cesky-Krumlov followed by trips to Salzburg, Lake Como and Venice.  An extensive tour.

    The prime purpose then was to find a new home for the car that had served us so well over five decades.  The MG deserved new owners who would give it the same love and respect that it received from us.  It was a wild and chancy idea that worked out when we met a German couple…oddly enough born in the same year we were married.  We dickered, came to an agreement, signed the papers and handed our first-born over to its new caretakers in August, 2011.

  Needless to Say…

With that transaction our European adventure came to an abrupt  halt short of the cities that were once behind the Iron Curtain.   We winged our way back to Los Angeles but the desire to complete that tour never left. This new Blog announces the resumption of that adventure.  That’s why it’s titled…

“ON THE ROAD AGAIN”
