Bonjour! It’s a beautiful day in Paris on this first Friday in July with moderate temps which regrettably are set to rise again for Le Weekend. Yesterday was the best day ever when my suitcase was delivered about 12:30. There was celebration in the streets as Patrick, the proprietor of Le Petit St. Paul and […]
Good Thursday morning, How could I forget yesterday to say Happy Fourth of July?! I hope your celebrations were festive, the food delicious, and all your cook-outs not too hot. The temps have cooled here just a little but still no rain. I have two pieces of great news. We just got the call from […]
Bonjour, Yesterday was the perfect Paris day…idled away at sidewalk cafés… talking, eating, sipping with Carolyn Barnabo and husband Clive, new friends we met last year from England. Carolyn is a writer/blogger herself, Paris-enthusiast, and owner of a Paris apartment in the Passy area. I encourage you to enjoy her blogging at https://mysydneyparislife.wordpress.com. They, like […]
Bonjour mes amis, It’s Tuesday in Paris under slightly cloudy skies with a forecast high of 83 degrees, cooler than yesterday. It has been sticky and sweltering with little relief when air conditioning is not available. Even the locals suffer and tend to stay inside. We did receive some very good news later in the […]
Bonjour, Thanks for allowing me to whine and write out my frustration over my lost luggage. My son called it a “first-world problem” (so true, given the crazies that are happening everywhere) and Bernie’s comment was, “Linda, it’s not like your house burned down.” Yes, both are correct, but I as Woman needed a day […]
Bonjour on this Sunday morning, Well, the best I can say is that we are home after a very frustrating travel Saturday out of Norway. We all know how frustrating one person in an organization can be in the circle of travel, how bad customer service can derail everything. Such was the case yesterday out […]
Bonjour mes amis, Yesterday, I was under the weather and spent probably the best weather day in the hotel room. Bummer! Thus, there was no blog. I am better today, and we had quite an adventure to a quaint, old, and very remote fishing village on one of the many archipelagos near Harstad. Access was […]
Dear Friends, Despite miserable weather…wind, rain, fog and 49 degrees, we pressed onward today to discover the area around Lofoten. It’s truly a shame that the fog was so bad but we tried to get as many photos as we could to show off the region. We had hoped that it might clear after lunch, […]
Hello from Norway! We arrived in Harstad, Norway at midnight last night only to discover a few things we should have already been prepared for…cold rain, blowing rain, and 24 hours of daylight! I brought everything I could layer and have used every bit of it so far! This is the time of the midnight […]
Bonjour! C’est Dimanche. It’s Sunday morning after a festive, fun, busy week. We are resting up for a new exciting week ahead…a trip to Norway’s coastal region with Bernie’s French cousins, Pierre and Laurie Verdier. You’ve met them many times before if you’ve been on the blog for a while. We link up with them […]
