Going to Cologne!

For the last number of years I’ve been dying to visit the Christmas markets in Germany.   Since my husband was never too keen, it never really happened.   This year I was talking to my friend Penny about it and we decided to book a trip for the two of us to go.  On December 13th [...]

Chateau de Castelbouc

Before we left for the South of France a colleague loaned me a book titled 501 Must-Visit Destinations. One of the things that jumped out at me was Chateau de Castelbouc in the Gorge du Tarn. This is what lead us to stay there for the last few days of our holiday. [...]

More From France – Gorge du Tarn Boat Ride

Things have been a little ‘bleh’ here lately, I’m sick with yet ANOTHER cold (yeah, my third since October, wtf?!) and am stressed out and frazzled about a multitude of things. Thankfully I have like, the best husband in the world, so I know it’ll all be ok.
So instead of getting into all [...]

The Fog

We passed this village every day on our way to and from our hotel.  I have no idea what it was called but I thought it was so beautiful nestled up there on the hillside.   There are so many villages like this in the Gorge du Tarn and it would take a lot longer than [...]

Cantobre

The village of Cantobre was an unexpected find on our journey with Xander’s mother last week.   As we were driving along I saw something up on a hill and as we turned the bend, this is what we found.

The entire village of about 30 houses was perched up on top of these cliffs.  It was [...]

Home Hairy Home

Yesterday (my birthday!) we decided to come home.  We’d been in France for over a week and were both feeling like we were getting a little tired of sight seeing.   It was time to pack up and head home so that we could be home in time to have a nice long weekend to chill [...]

Road Randoms

It’s hard to believe it’s been a week since we arrived in France.   Since we got here it’s been nonstop and I have literally hundreds of photos to sort through.   This will probably happen when we arrive home finally, because I’ve not found the time since I’ve been here, barring the odd quickie, like this [...]
