> Hi, dear Cheryl, my beloved one, amazing inspiration, Tony, and all of you 
> listers!!!
> This is me, Tatiana, the 35-year-old totally blind greek woman that Tony 
> just mentioned...!
> What I want to share with you all now is that, during these days is coming 
> intensely in my mind my excitement, my awe, my heart-beating I tried during 
> the same days last year, expecting the date of Sept. 5, when I flew to 
> London, to meet Tony and continue our trip to the States, the very first 
> over-Atlantic for me!! Thanks to him, his "we can do it" attitude, one of my 
> deepest dreams ever has become true!! We are planning a trip to Central 
> Europe again at the beginning of September, I am always excited, but I am 
> missing those unique feelings I had; and I wanted to share with you, and 
> with Tony - I didn't tell him how thankful, grateful I am: Let me do it now, 
> in public.
> And yea, guys, what I've learned, is to "see the world Tony's way", which 
> doesn't mean anything else than touching things, buildings, trees, flowers, 
> hearing birds, different kinds of music, dialects, languages, and 
> talking...., talking to people; and, by that "talking", getting deeper into 
> yourself, learnig your own personality through others'.

> Happy travels to everyone,
> Tatiana
