To the Valued Friends who witnessed, and whom a congeniality of tasteled to enjoy with me, the scenes herein described—whose wearied limbshave sought repose upon the same hard floor—whose spoons have beendipped in the same Gazpacho, I dedicate these pages.
In the course of our perigrinations we have often observed to eachother,
“Hæc olim meminisse juvabit.”
