The Craziness of the Cologne Market

Saturday myself and Penny were off to the Christmas market in Cologne, Germany.   We’d been looking forward to going for weeks on end so we were both totally stoked.   I think we weren’t really prepared for what was waiting for us though.

We knew it was going to be busy, since it is getting closer to [...]

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 [...]

A Day in Roosendaal

Today I went to visit my friend Penny in Roosendaal.  She showed me around the city center of Roosendaal, including this really beautiful shopping area that serves as a walkway between one side of the city center and the other.

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 [...]

Saturday Photohunt - Candy

This is a candy shop in the town of Pezenas in France, which is the village we stayed in while visiting my mother in law a few weeks ago. The shop was huge and full of tons of different kinds of candy. I didn’t go in any longer than what it took for me to [...]
