Why are so many of the so-called "virtue names" -- the top ones being Faith, Hope, and Joy -- given almost exclusively to females?
Is there something particularly feminine about possessing any of these qualities?
Some of my favorite moments as a tour leader are watching the expressions of our travelers as they first encounter some of these wonders. There is a particular corner where I like to skip ahead just a little so I can savor the expressions as the group rounds the corner and sees the magnificent Eiffel Tower towering above them in all its glory.
