Lynda,
 
You need to seek out another professor and hook up with her to  chaperone  
a trip.

Yes,  Joyce it is so true. Loss of independenc is the worst part of losing  
sight.  I live in a rural village there is no public transportation  of any 
sort anywhere around here. So, unless you have someone who can take  you 
with 
them, you don't have any opportunities to be out. How I thank the  friends 
who have helped me.  the ohly place I can go by myself is to  walk across 
the 
creek on a bridge and walk the one mile circumfrance  around the next 
village.  I do this every evening with my two dogs.  It is 2 miles around 
and 
back home across the bridge.  For a person  who was used to leaving by 
myself 
and flying to Europe or any other place,  all the time, it has been an 
enormous challenge. I miss my summers in  Europe and the many other trips I 
had each year as a professor with my  students. How I long to be back in 
Austria as I was every summer, but I do  not know anyone who would be going 
and there are no family members who  go.  So, I am having a cup of TEA 
right 
now in an Austria china cup  with a hirsh on it (that is a deer) and I am 
dreaming of one day being  back again to see the people and places  I love 
so 
much. I still  believe it will happen for me, again, one day.
