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 for [...]

Sorry to be out of touch for so long! We boarded the Queen Mary 2 on June 2 and we haven’t been able to connect (they did have internet but at 50 cents a minute). This morning we watched the sun rise over the Statute of Liberty as we arrived in NY . We are [...]

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 worried about my [...]

We had a great first day in Paris. It was part of the river cruise tour so we spent the afternoon and evening with people from that cruise. We went on the organized tour of Versailles. We had not been there before as about 10 years ago when we came to Paris, there had been [...]

Goodness, that was a long stretch without posting, wasn’t it? Hope you are all checking back in! We have just arrived in Paris from a week cruising on the river Rhone and Soane. This is the boat when we arrived in Arles. It was a small boat holding only about 125 people with, best we [...]

Our next to last day in Nice. Tomorrow we transfer from the current hotel we’re in a block or two away to the hotel that is the official start of our “Flavors of Burgendy & Provence†River cruise. We’re having second thoughts (and that’s all they can be!) and hoping we enjoy being with a [...]

We arrived last night from Figueres Spain to Nice France! It took about 7 hours total. We went Figueres to Montpellier, changed trains and then Montpellier to Nice. We had quite a moment when we went to track D and waited patiently only to have Rich observe that no-one else was on the platform. He [...]

A few pictures to whet your appetite for Barcelona. It is different in many ways from southern Spain – certainly more touristy, but more cosmopolitan and international as well. First a couple of pictures of the beautiful narrow streets of the area we have been living in – Barri Gothic. Then a couple of pictures [...]

We’re having a wonderful time with our daughter and grandbaby in tow! The world is very different with a toddler about! The Spanish love babies and feel free to look and exclaim at your baby. We had observed this in the other towns we were in; and it’s very interesting to have our observations confirmed. [...]

Only a quick posting today as the Wifi café we found has a terrible connection. Access to free wifi is next to nil; and when you find it (only one place in our huge neighborhood), it doesn’t work so well. Hubby and I think that this is probably likely to be the result of Spain’s [...]
