Our bags are packed and checked in and we’re sitting at our gate at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. I guess that means we’re flying to Madrid! Seems like we’re leaving at just the right time – it’s raining now! The weather for Madrid looks really good though, so we’re definitely looking forward to […]

Wow, is it really time to leave Paris already?? It can’t be! It’s a little weird – as I was getting things cleaned up around our apartment and getting stuff packed up, I got that end-of-vacation feeling. But then I realized that we have three more cities to see and I felt a lot better. […]
I’m happy to report that we were able to meet up with our friend last night! Admittedly, we got a little lost when we got off the Metro to walk to his hotel, but we made it in the end. 🙂 There’s just something really cool about being able to meet up with friends from […]
We had a great time on our picnic! The weather was great (as was the company!) and it was so amazing to be just sitting on the Champ de Mars while enjoying bread and cheese with the Eiffel Tower above us. It was still pretty light when we got there, but as it got darker […]
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 […]
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 […]
