Where would you really like to be right now?
If it was still possible to travel anywhere, would you return to a place
you know, or throw caution to the wind and venture into the unknown?
At this time of year I love being in France but this of course is not
going to happen. But I can dream. . . . . . and hopefully next year will
be better and Autumn travels will be underway - it's my favorite time of
year to visit EUROPE.
Working with this old laptop I'm only able to open old photos - so, for a while,
anything I might post here will be about former adventures and travel.
In October 2015 - hard to imagine that's already 5 years ago - we had a
a great trip to France. It involved two segments of river boat sailing - with
always exciting Paris days first, then the Normandy Beaches, followed by
a long, very scenic sail along the Saone and Rhone rivers from Paris to
Arles, Provence.
From there we took a train to my brother's village home in the Languedoc
near Carcassonne in Southwest France and, following the usual sunny
and golden harvest time in and around the vineyards, another train
journey took us south to Barcelona, Spain.
Here's a link to my 2015 visit to my brother's village where I'm sure
little has changed in five years.
Being a huge lover of Vincent Van Gogh, I was thrilled, at long last,
to spend a day in Auvers-sur-Oise - a few photos above.
Link to a post made back then.
An Autumn day in Southwestern France - along the road and through the
vineyards to the wonderful town of Mirapoix - complete with amazing
13th century buildings.
Yes, Autumn memories of France are special.
I was just notified by Apple that my Mac is on its way home
already and should be at my door by 8 PM TODAY!
Wow, what great service.
