We recently spent the most wonderful day in Sintra, Portugal. It’s beautiful here, and such a sweet place to explore. I don’t have a lot of time to write about it since we are on to the next place (we’re taking a week-long road trip all over Portugal) but I wanted to at least share […]
After a gorgeous day at Killarney National Park and hiking at Torc Falls, we decided to visit a more historical site before we headed to Cork– The Rock of Cashel. Here’s what wikipedia has to say about it: According to local mythology, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil’s Bit, a mountain 20 miles […]
We’re back from a wonderful weekend in Belgium! I am thankful for a sweet time, and lots of fun, good food, and good drinks. Today I thought I’d just share some of the beautiful architecture in De Haan. It’s such fun to see, and I just have to show you some of my favorite buildings. […]
On the way home from our recent trip to Bath, we paid a visit to Bradford on Avon. It’s such a charming town! We weren’t there for much time at all, and it was cold and windy– but we stayed long enough to take a little walk and for me to snap some photos to […]
It’s getting close to two weeks since we visited the city of Bath, so I’d better get some pictures up before it slips off of my To Do list! Jeff, Amelia and I drove to Bath on a Friday morning, and stayed with a kind stranger we met via couchsurfing. We were only there for […]
Hi everyone! We are in the middle of our summertime extravaganza of guests and travel, and things are a little crazy at my house right now. But I wanted to share some photos of the most fun thing we did in Paris two weeks ago– a picnic and cruise along the Seine River at sunset. […]
After our sunny afternoon in Izola, we drove down the coast a few minutes to the edge of Portoroz, where we found a place to park. From there we walked along the seafront to a very picturesque town called Piran. We had been eyeing Piran from a distance– Antonio had set up a telescope from […]
On Saturday, after a morning storm, the skies cleared up. We went to Koper to rent a car, and then our host Antonio took us to a sleepy little fishing town nearby, called Izola. This place has a very interesting history, having been claimed by various empires and countries over the centuries. In fact, it […]
We had two and a half days in Trieste. We took the shuttle there from the airport on our first day, and had a meal on along the canal. The next day, we were there for most of the day– but it was miserable, as I mentioned before, just pouring buckets of rain, cold, and […]
For those of you who were recently, to put it in English terms, gutted by the latest episode of Downton Abbey, this one’s for you. We’ll take a soothing walk through a similar property, where no one gets hurt or (spoiler alert!) dies. (Also, let me just add that I think that show is […]
