Our final full day in Spain was a great one! We had pre-planned a day trip to Toledo several months ago and today was the day for it. It involved a bit of an early start, but we got there with no problems – hooray! I’m very glad we did this trip because it was […]

Another great day of this trip has come and (almost) gone. It’s kind of crazy to realize that this amazing trip is already half-over! But that’s okay because we still have a week-and-a-half left to enjoy. 🙂 We started our day a bit later than normal today because we (okay, mostly me) were organizing/editing/posting pictures […]
After a lackluster first day in Madrid, it was great to get out and experience some of the city today! It feels very much like a city with compact buildings and lots of graffiti (far more than Paris, which is almost twice as big), which could lead to it feeling unsafe, but I don’t get […]
Okay, I thought that our first day in Paris was pretty low-key, but our first day in Madrid was even quieter. Nothing wrong with that though! We made it here safe and sound – the flight from Paris was quick and painless and it was easy to get to our apartment via the Metro. I […]
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 […]
