Where am I?  This city islocated in a country that is not part of the European Union but uses the euro as its official currency.  Mount Charles just doesn't have the same cachet!

Monday, 31 Oct 2016 | Views [339]

Slept-in this morning to take advantage of the "daylight savings time" change here -- thye start a weel before the US.  Wandered out on to the balcony, took one look at the green sea (green today) and the blue sky and it was difficult to talk myself ... Read more >

It's 4:00pm and I'm sitting on the balcony of a fourth floor apartment in Nice overlooking the deep blue Mediterrranen Sea -- finally getting what all the fuss was about re the "south of France" -- probably as close to heaven as I'll ever get! The temperature ... Read more >

Gladiators & Romans in the South of France

Friday, 28 Oct 2016 | Views [293]

From the scenic countryside of Bailly, I was off on a mad dash to the south of France.  The "south of France" is portrayed as an idylic land of blue skies, green water and pastel villas clinging to the hillsides -- someone should sue them for false ... Read more >


Guedelon & Underground in the Bailly Caves

Thursday, 27 Oct 2016 | Views [193]

Moved on the next day to a tiny place called Bailly -- doeesn't show-up on GPS and you need to go to the highest resolution on Googlemaps (and know where you're looking) to even find it (which made it real challenging to find the first day).  It's ... Read more >
