Sorry for the absence, but these last two months have been rather nasty! My mother (90) was in hospital for more than three weeks and the post-surgery was hard! My father (94) seemed to be an orphan while my mother was out and felt into some kind of depression... The economy is a disaster and the media only bring bad news... The € Euro is rescued every day, only to be known that it needs to be rescued again and again next morning... What else? Well, maybe «Midnight in Paris»... The problem is that the Gil there is a different one... ;)
Blogtrotter Two wanders around pre-historical Corsica, where it seems all this will be leading to... ;) Enjoy and have a wonderful week ahead!
Welcome back, Gil.
It was only last week, I was 'showing off' to some of my friends, the ability to visit so many marvelous places, online!
This post, like all others is charming too.
It is so wonderful to have you back.
I hope your parents are doing better now....I will remember them in my prayers. Do please convey my best wishes to them and also, on my behalf, please wish them a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear about your parents having a hard time. Wish your mom will recovered in no time. Take care of yourself too. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful photos.
It's great to see you back Trotter! Sorry for your parents, hope they'll do better now!
Love your Corsican post and looking forward to see more:)
Have a nice week ahead!

Hello Trotter,
The scenes of Corsica fill me with peace. Thank you!
Very sorry to hear about your mother and father and how you are feeling too! Please know thoughts of good will are being sent to you all and prayers too.
Your friend,
Constance
C'est ce que nous sommes Gil, un maillon dans l'histoire de l'humanité. Le principal est que nous sommes vivants en ce moment, tes parents sont encore là malgré leurs souycis de santé dûs à leur âge avancé et tu es à leur coté comme un bon fils. Profite d'eux et demande leur de te raconter encore et encore leur histoire tant qu'il en est temps....
Nice that you are back. Sorry to hear about your parents, understandable that real life is so much more important than life on the Net.
Those statues look like fun!
So interesting - too many interesting places to see in one lifetime, but we do our best :)
Happy to hear that your parents have got to live so long life together and spend time with you and your family.
I can imagine your dad`s feelings when his wife was away from him. I send warm greetings to them.
Greetings also to your wife, where your daughter is living now?
Sorry about your parents !
Your pictures are beautiful and I did a nice sightseeing tour, although only virtual !
So nice to see you back! We of course all worried, knowing how regular a blogger and commentator you ususally are. I trust that the essential things are going better! ... and now, of course with this "pause", you are again more than a year behind. The eternal Corsica is really beautiful!
Hi Trotter, Thanks for dropping by and posting your comment.Sorry to note about your mother. Trust she has recovered and is back home. Best wishes to your parents.
Corsica pics are beautiful - Wouldn't mind being exiled there like Napoleon was.

I was never in Corsica. I read about it. It must be a beautiful country. Lots of sights. Wild and scenic nature at every step. I would like to Corsica in the future look. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you experiences from his travels. Much health and vigor wish you Peter.
It isn' easy seeing our parents grow old, be ill and then have to let them go. My husband and I have been there and done that already. It is rough. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. Hang in there!
I enjoyed seeing the museums, the sunsets, the history come alive on your blog and seeing foreign places that I have never seen or will have the opportunity to do so. I love your blog!

Hi Trotter
Such an interesting blog...n posts
great idea n shares ..Thanx lot
Blessed you ...keep moving ...keep sharing !!
Great day
I pray for your parents. I could understand the feelings of your pa when his beloved was away in hospital. The Megalithic site is quite interesting. The memorial stones are quite similar to what we find elsewhere. It is strange that people of those times around the world had common ideas when they thought of honoring/remembering their departed relatives.
Hello Gil! Welcome back, so sorry to read about your parents, I hope that now everything is OK.
The post is very interesting, wonderful images and collage on Corsica, a beautiful tour indeed!
Greetings from Turin :-)
Hi Gil, hope your mom gets better soon..and its good to see your post again :) Lovely and magical set of photos! I am amazed and want to go there soon. Have a great week ahead.
Beautiful shots of the place. Every stone has a identity.
Thanks for the tour around this ancient part of the world. Hope your parents are improving.
You have certainly visited some interesting places Trotter - Corsica is a very rugged island and you pics are a great depiction of this interesting and historical area.
Des moments difficiles a passer avec les problemes des parents. Des soucis a partager suivant les lois de la famille et c'est bien ainsi tant que l'on peut le faire. Accumuler les souvenirs est important. Bon courage!
Beautiful pics of the Nature in Corsica. So much to contemplate over there with this proximity of towns, mountains and sea...
I find the stantaris fascinating... and funny looking! LOL
And such interesting pieces at the museum!
I hope your parents are better.
It is not very good to get sick at that age
The pictures were very nice. Rock formations incredible and the sunset on the beach good medicine :)
Hi Trotter, great to see you back! Hope your parents are feeling much better now.
Nice tour of Corsica!
Hi Gil, great to have you back! Your posts are always something we can count on (unlike me!), so it was worrying not knowing how things were going with you.
I'm glad to hear that your mother is doing better, and your father, too. You sound down - I hope that you feel better very soon!
I love the shots of the town!
Very nice post. Glad to see you back. I hope everything is ok with your family.
Great pics! Love those sculptured beauties! :)
Hope things are well with your folks! Take care!
Hi Gil, Lovely to see you back. Hope your mum and dad are feeling better now.
The dinosaur looks quite interesting!
Wow ...
Ummm ... do you have a spare bedroom?
I like the archeological site with the so old sculptures!
Very sorry to hear about your parents, Trotter. I hope things are improving and it's good to have your travels back. These images are wonderfully mysterious.
Hi, No new posts? Please see my latest.How are your parents? Best Wishes.
Ram
De belles photos pour supporter ces temps difficiles et les pîtreries du G20.
Bon courage.
Hello,
Magnificent photos beautifully captured. I enjoyed going through the photos. Many thanks.
Joseph
I am sorry to read about your mother and father. They are a wonderful couple.

Hi Gil
Thanx for not giving up on me althou' I've been absent for almost 3 months from the blogging world. I sincerely hope your parents are getting better. You are so lucky to have them for so long. I missed my dad...
Your pics are always incredible. Enjoyed it. Thanks.
Sorry for reciprocating you so late. I can understand your situation very well. Hope your mother's health is fine and she is recovering slowly after the surgery. How is your Dad's health? Its true that in absence of lifepartner specially at this age a person feels orphan. I always pray to God for you and your parents good health and long life. Take proper care of them.
Very beautiful and breathtaking pictures. I always enjoy your post as they are full of life and I feel myself in that place.
excellent photographs!
Best and good wishes for your dear parents Gil. Some day when you run out of travels and photos to show us, you must teach us how to take stunning photography like you do. :)
Impressive remains! Fb'ed and Twittered.

Part Two:
Ram,
Thanks! Napoleon was born there... Exiled in the isle of Elba, near Corsica, he managed to return to power for one hundred days and then was beaten at Waterloo and exiled to Santa Helena till he died...

Amazing indeed!!
I was fascinated by these ancient ruins and monoliths, Gil.
I hope your Mom and Dad are feeling better.
Pat,
Those are amazing stone age monuments...
Wow! Trotter you have certainly rummaged around in some amazing places - the coastlines at large are more rugged than I would have expected but lovely to see a few sandy beach areas dotted with luxury craft.
I hope your Mother is on the mend Trotter surgery at 90yrs is no small feat and your Father I'm sure will pick up when Mother is back by his side.
Dianne,
Thanks!
The next post will show the fabulous cosat line of Corsica...
Wonderful shots of the place. very scenic.
