... time he sails his boat around the world.

Intrigued we asked him how he got first got into sailing and where he got his experience from. He told us he had sailed little skiffs when he was young but never really had experience on a yacht. He thought it would be fun to buy a yacht in Florida and learn to sail it around the Bahamas. He bought one for $15,000 and advertised for an experienced sailor to join him (and received hundreds of replies ...

... and also you can do a lot of activities. So we thought that we could speak about our surroundings that we know very well and perhaps that can help the people who wants to visit our region.
We hope you will enjoy, the nature, landscape and monuments from the Alt Empordā - Girona - Spain.

Come and discover them!

... we will manage to upload pics soon - I want you guys to see the beautiful sites we have been too as well as the fun stuff we have photographed... however sometimes having others take pics of us has been an adventure in itself... hand gestures asking to turn the camera around - failed, and alot of people always seem to cut out the important details of monuments.... I guess the locals are sick and tired of people asking them to take pics...

peace out!!!

I quickly realized this was Peter Asai and his wife, Karen (friends from my previous life in Eugene) who I hadnīt seen in many, many years. Life is funny and sweet and....como un sueņo! My friend, Sherry, who ...

Arrived Banyuls around 3.30 yesterday afternoon. Spending the next couple of days in Collioure soaking up the sun and relaxing until my flight home on Wednesday. Will plan to update the blog in detail when I arrive home.

The captain wanted to get to Marseille before the approaching storm hit us and before the wind whipped up too many waves. No one was allowed to go on deck with the weather the way it was, except for the crew who were required to wear a life jacket, and a Man Over Board sensor and beacon. There are two sets of ...

... a few days and managed also to fit in a 24 hour round trip to visit his aunt and uncle in Lyon who live in the cuds and have a fabulous house with outdoor jacuzzi. Jean flew back to Luton on Tuesday morning and I set off by train to Merens-Les-Vals which seemed to be the easiest access point back onto the GR10 given the time remaining. For those of you who don't know, I start University on the 21st September and we have also decided to move ...

... day slipped away. Never did find the bus timetable, but we got to the seafront at about 1.30 and installed ourselves in a restaurant ovelooking the beach, where a sweet waitress told us our French was very good (you can rely on me to sort out all the food and drink words in any language).
