Today we enjoyed breakfast at our B&B – The Phoenix Inn – and then made our way to the Fenimore Art Museum. There was a fascinating exhibit of Jewish immigrant wood carvers of the early 20th century in New York showing their work both of carousel horses and Torah arks for synagogues: fascinating. [...]

Tomorrow morning we leave on a road trip for a week. We’ll take the first couple of days to visit a couple of homes of the rich and famous: Naumkeag for instance. By Wednesday we’ll be in Clinton, NY at the annual Shaker Seminar taking place this year at Hamilton College.
I’ll post as I can!

We’ve been home for over a week now, yet we’re still adjusting in many ways.
We seem to be back on the right time zone, which thanks to the ocean crossing really went pretty easily. We arrived only about 2 – 3 hours off. We still seem to want to eat different amounts [...]

Anyone reading this from the 60s-70s generation might need read no further; you probably get the general idea!
Two days home and we’re beginning to adjust. The time changes that happened on board the ship helped a great deal – but not entirely. We seem to be about 3 hours off still, not bad [...]

We had a great train ride through the Chunnel from Paris to London. It’s actually a rather “boring” ride in terms of the scenery (and at least 1/2 hour is spent in the tunnel). We enjoyed first class and were served a nice luncheon type meal while enjoying cozy seats. I was [...]

We are currently sitting in the Gare du Nord train station waiting for our train to London in a hour or so. There’s a nice lounge for first class travelers (which we’re doing for comfort and the meal!) with connection.
So here’s just a few pictures from our few days in Paris. From London, this [...]

Here we are in Figueres – as you can see we’ve changed a bit on our trip☺!
Oh, okay – it’s not really us! We arrived in Figueres – land of the famous Dali museum – this afternoon. We discovered it is another of Spain’s many saint days! And we lucked into [...]
