... gesture. We can't change the world but we can change the way these children start off in life and who knows where that will lead....

It is less than 4 weeks now until I leave. There is much to do. I am trying to prepare myself for "teaching" 20 - 25 children. A bit of a challenge that. Much as I have known that I have always wanted to do something like this, now that it ...

Gorgeous morning and a stunning place for breakfast awaited us just outside Scooby overlooking the lake. I went for a run but Kim was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed and made me breakfast - yay! We spotted two girls about our age and attempted to engage in some conversation but their English was limited and French is rubbish. Shame as its manily been the grey hair brigade we ...

... need/want me to be there. rar. and i couldnt get home because no buses were running due to the crazy floods...the fact that there even was school on a day when half the teacher and students couldn't get there...is another story and also belongs on my list of illogical frenchisms...

so while at the train station i witnessed ...

Well, we are coming to the end of this fabulous trip of a lifetime and I have amassed a collection of interesting Euro car photos. Below is a quiz of 10 cars that need to identified. The one of you that reply with the most correct responses, in the least amount of time, will receive a bottle of the special new Chianti Classico that we are having shipped home. And trust me, this is not just some ordinary Italian ...

... 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 ...

... if you ever get to the Cote d' Azur. It really is nice in Nice! Wednesday we managed to get to St Tropez a week later than originally planned. Although we all enjoyed the boat trip across and back from St Maxime, to be truthful we didn't find the place all that interesting. If you plan to do some designer shopping then great, otherwise we didn't find much to do. Very pretty, but with two children we have found better places to visit. After a couple of hours of ...

... pasta I ate that day was just as good as anything that I ate when I eventually traveled to Italy; the pasta was fresh and soft, the tomato sauce, fresh and garlicy and herby and the meat tender, juicy, fresh and absolutely delish. It is one of those meals that I had in Europe that I will never forget. That was actually my Christmas Eve "dinner" (I ate dinner later on at the hostel but this was my special pig out holiday dinner for Christmas ...

... I honestly wish Canada would have some distince culture.. but... I guess these European countries have a couple centuries, or even Millenia under their belt, so I should cut them a little slack on that one, eh? Have been looking at house prices here... how cool would it be, if I was in Canada to tell someone I have a cottage in the French Countryside... man.. DEFINITELY a panty remover.. haahha... good thing I have my priorities in the right place...

... used to this. One of the main benefits to train travel in March is that once we were out of France/Italy, we usually had a compartment to ourselves - or at least ample space so the children had seats as well. (also a great deal of room for nap times) In Vienna: we had 2 days of exploring this very efficient, tidy (centre of town anyway) city. 1870-1900 era buildings in immaculate shape - such a difference to the buildings near/in Hérépian! Ted was very ...
