Plus, a sad farewell to MJ and an unexpected solo day Saturday we marched back to the marche (market) because it's fun and we were now armed with extensive knowledge of fancy cheese. I know people think Paris is a harsh city, but I have not found that to be true. The cheese vendor was …
When I said I was coming to Paris during the Olympics, half my friends were jealous and the other half warned that it would be crowded, dangerous and a big pain in the tush. (You know which half you're in Amy C.!) We've been here since Monday and the only things that have gone wrong …
This is our last week in Valencia before we head back to the US for the Summer and Fall.
I know we have more to write about Kenya, but I thought we could jump ahead to our first weekend back in Valencia. It was time for the annual Fallas festival. According to Wikipedia, the festival was originally a celebration of spring when the local artisans would burn scrap wood that was used during the …
Plus: My new favorite place This week we welcomed our niece, Genny, and her friend, Z. We always have an open door for friends and family and we are very glad they are taking advantage of it. We haven’t had so much giggling in our lives since … forever! We’ve mostly been wandering (as usual). …

Paris loves jazz. We love Paris. We love jazz. But we haven't had a chance to put them together until this visit. We kicked off our not-holiday weekend with a trip to 38Riv, a teeny, tiny jazz club (about 40 people were able to squish in (tiny is being quite generous, the room was about …
Yay, we're in Paris! OK, so the weather is not what I would call great, but who cares? (Steven does, but he's been quite whiny about the cold lately...It is cold. I don't like it.) We have to tough job of watching Seuss the cat and a beautiful apartment from which we can stroll around …
Valencia is where the red pin is I thought it might make sense to provide a few maps that will give everyone an idea of where we are that way when we discuss distances, places etc, it will make sense. As Sue said in her last post we are staying for the next six months …
