These are updates of my adventures
I was almost ready to tuck in for the evening. Laundry is drying by “The Light of a Million Suns”, my affectionate moniker for my space heater. I’d just eaten dinner of pasta with meat sauce – don’t judge me, paleo eaters, the sauce had meat. Suddenly, I remembered that I was in Barcelona Spain, …
Nice was lovely, even in the rain, however I will have to return another time to fully appreciate the beauty of Nice and take a visit to Cannes and Monaco. Unfortunately, I was sick for most of my time in Nice, but luckily, I had a bed, and access to good food to recover. When …
My last day in Paris found me in a tiny bit more of a rush than I was originally planning. My original flight from Paris to Nice was supposed to be later in the day, but because of a ATC strike called just the day before, that only affected the afternoon’s flights, I had to …
While I’m taking time to recover from this cold, I figure I’ll update my blog with some old photos from my November trip to Costa Rica. I spent seven days there learning to Surf. I was successful, though it wasn’t pretty! LOL! Here are some photos that really are lovely!
Hi Everyone! While I’ve been posting on my Facebook page regularly, I’ve been ignoring my actual blog! For shame! I’ve run out of excuses, and will be posting more regularly. My plan is to provide 2 weekly updates, one each on Monday and Thursday/Friday. I’ll also hopefully be submitting posts to catch you all …
Shhh! I’m still adjusting to my current time zone, so woke early, but didn’t climb down from my nest till noon. I ran out of baguette and greens, so figured I’d have to hunt for an open market, since it is Sunday, and most of Paris is closed. Luckily, my flat is very close …
I got moving early for a personal tour of the Porte de Vanves Flea Market. This flea is focused on antiques. Claude, the gentleman who is letting the flat to me, is quite the expert on who has what, and the quality. Things are generally inexpensive if shown on the ground, and pricier if on …
I’m on my way. The morning was full of stress, a little bit of panic, and some sadness that I wouldn’t be seeing my home for six months. Did I get everything done? The water heater is off, and the water turned off. Will everything be safe and sound for all that time? I still …
January 5th: I don’t know why I’m dusting my condo. After six months, I’ll have to be very careful not to stir a breeze when I walk back in July-ish, and cause a dust storm. In other news – pre-departure house cleaning progress is being made. Whew! I won’t have to wonder who trashed the …
Just went through the change on my shelf: Colones, Pesos, Czeck Crowns, British Pound, and Euros. It’s nice to arrive in a new country with some of the local currency. I’m still looking for the Thai Baht and the Japanese Yen. I’ll need those too.
