What a good day we’ve had so far! The weather has been absolutely perfect – sunny, temperatures in the high 60s/low 70s, and just a bit of a breeze. Perfect for walking around Versailles! That’s really been the only thing we’ve done today, actually. And that’s fine by me. 🙂 We were hoping to start […]
Month: September 2013
It’s nearly 11:30p on Friday night here, which can only mean one thing – time to write another blog! Today felt like a pretty busy day because we saw and did quite a few things. As I mentioned in my post earlier today, the weather was a bit iffy this morning, but after getting sprinkled […]
We’re getting ready to head out shortly, but the weather has unfortunately not been cooperating (in some ways) this morning. Although the sun is hidden and the temperature is lower (a welcome change from the last two days!), it’s also been thundering and rainy off and on. It’s a gentle kind of thunder and rain […]
Another day of the trip is in the books! As I said in my earlier post, we got a little bit of a late start today, but we still got to see a fair amount of stuff. Sadly, the heat continued (another 90° day!), but the weather has cooled off now that it’s nearly 10p […]
As first days go, we didn’t do much in Paris yesterday, but that’s mostly because we didn’t get to our apartment until 3p. In this case (as will, I think, be the case with the rest of our apartments), we didn’t actually meet up with the owner. Instead, she connected us to a friend of […]
Our three-night stay in Amsterdam was followed by one night in Bruges. When we first started planning the trip, Bruges wasn’t on the agenda – we were going to go straight from Amsterdam to Paris for a six-night stay. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized I wanted to make a […]
Everyone travels for different reasons. Some do it because they have something to run away from, while others do it because they want something to run towards, and others still do it purely for the historical elements. Me? I love lots of things about traveling, but right now, in this moment, what I love is […]
We’ve reached the end of the line in Amsterdam! After getting ready, cleaning up the apartment, and packing our last couple of things, we said goodbye to our great hosts and made our way to the train station (not before we stopped to get Scott his juice fix though). If you’re ever in Amsterdam and […]
What a great day we had today (and it wasn’t just because I found another cool piece of street art)! The weather wasn’t great – grey, cloudy, and windy most of the day (no rain though, thankfully!). We had several things planned, so we got a slightly earlier start than yesterday, hoping to stop by […]
I would say Day 2 was a win just based on the fact that I’m still awake tonight! After crashing early yesterday (to be fair, I hadn’t really slept for over 30 hours), I’m happy to be awake and writing this post around 1030p. To hell with you, jetlag! The weather was a bit cooler […]
