PL Notes - Florentine Gardens.

Claudia, I am marking your file PL OK, but because you read fast and sometimes "swallow your vowels", I suggest your file could be improved (in Audacity) by applying a Tempo -6, to uncover many of those hidden vowels, and Amplify the whole file +2 to make them more audible. I tried it and thought it was more understandable.
Examples
The Italian, I hear Thetalian An Italian, antalian
the effect, I hear thefect
architectural, I hear ark-tectural
to astonish, I hear tastonish

Sorry about that! I'll improve it tomorrow, following your advice, and upload again.

Cotswold Winds is PL OK. Thank you, Tommy. and this closes out VACATIONS!

My husband's daughter is an avid cyclist in Colorado. I am forwarding her this vivid story. She will be jealous.

Author name missing on 7, Mark Twain

Lynne - section 7 is missing the author and text in the metadata. I didn't check the others, but author spot is empty on that one so I noticed it.
