Hotel Soleil De Saint-Tropez Grimaud

... seen and spoken to, to date.
Set off mid morning to drive through Gorges du Verdon, again another stunning drive. This time though the weather was kind to us and we were able to get out for a hike after lunch. It seemed like a popular drive as we encountered several other tourists, one couple were eating lunch at the same spot we were. They packed up their picnic, took a swig out of ...

... they were forced to part, and i kid you not they kissed on the lips. thats right THE LIPS. apparently they start early here in france....


so on we went and arrived in tours. Albeit after a long sleepless night on the train and a brief moment in paris that included a walk to the seine.
On our way into the hostel we found an old thing, and a big church, followed by an even bigger church, followed by the wrong part of old town, then a ...

... Europe, but I think I would kinda like having the quarter horse of Europe instead. Wouldn't you..?

After being through Florence and Rome, it is understandable that small cars are a big hit. Many of these are featured in the quiz below. City streets and even small town roads are so tight and thin that parking is nuts and spots are few. This requires small cars and creative techniques. I have featured a ...

... invest in bringing some of it back to the US.

Cannes and the French Riviera is really a spectacular place. Again, fancy yachts dock here and along the coast. We took a drive down to St. Tropez to experience the hype: but instead, found delight in an old medieval town called Grimaud, just a few miles inland from the coast. Grimaud had an old castle on the top over looking the now flashy Saint Tropez and Sea below. The old town is so beautiful and quaint, we could ...

... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...

... route through the (lower) French Alps to get to Avignon. We hired a GPS, called Elliot after Karon's niece (as we hired it in Nice) and drove for most of the day stopping at little villages along the way. It was spectacular scenery and the villages were picture postcards of French villages. In Avignon we sang the famous song (but did not dance)as we walked across the bridge. We saw ...

Hi kids!!! This is the beginning of my travel blog. We'll see how this goes... I've never been good at keeping things like this updated but I'm going to give it a try. If anyone has questions or ideas of things they want me to write about, that would be super helpful. The rest of this first entry is just going to be the first email that I sent out so that anyone who didn't get to read gets a chance. I will try to update more tomorrow ...

... meal in itself. Ate a huge basket of baguette with it. I find a lot of restaurant baguette to be ******, actually. Main course - rabbit. Couldn't get it last time in France so I'm getting it now. Like stringy chicken - very good. Accompanied with the best ratatouille I've ever had. Great fettucine - incredible ...

... an incredibly horrible Pina Colada and and if possible an even worse Grasshopper - after 2 bad cocktails we decided to cut our losses and head to the casino, we change 10 Euro into casino chips and proceeded to lose 8 Euro in this horse racing game that had little toy horses that raced - we keep 2 chips for souvenirs - those damn horses! Oh yeah, another game that we were doing was called murder - someone on our bus was a murderer and would go around ...
