About Me
- Christine H.
- I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest. I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
I've noticed that Best Westerns in Europe are more up-scale than in the US, so maybe it's not as bad/sad as it sounds . . .
ReplyDeleteChristine, the hotel I stayed at in Rocomondour (sp), an unbelievable town built on a cliff in southern France, was a Best Western. It did seem strange, but the company was faithful to the antiquity of the area when they took it over. Well, it'll be time to get up in about an hour, so I guess I should go back to bed and try to sleep. I have so enjoyed catching up on your blog!
ReplyDeleteas long as they continue to respect the traditional style of the building, then sometimes - if it's the only way of preserving them - it's better that these old hotels get taken over by a large company with the funds to keep them running, rather than being sold off and torn down!
ReplyDelete...wonderful card! LOVE those sunday best clothes!
In fact, I think Best Western preserved the hotel pretty much as it was. It's not fancy, but it gets decent reviews.
