take me away to better days

Still posting photos from France. Loire Valley all done. 6 more days left and Paris will be complete.

Our trip feels at times like long ago or though it never happened… other times I ache to return to those days, those moments. They were peaceful, exciting, alive.

sweet

delicious

I miss the wine in France.

Photos from last day in the Loire Valley and drive into Paris are up. Will get the rest of the photos up. Eventually. Slow going. New obsession with Degrassi is not helping. Don’t ask.

magical & hidden

Fairy tale land. Magical. Loire Valley. France.

Posted photos from Day 4 of our trip to France. Most don’t come close to doing justice to how beautiful and spectacular everything really was. Le sigh.

what château?

what château?

I’ve slowly started posting photos from my recent trip to France last month. It was an incredible adventure that now feels far away… as though it happened years ago instead of merely weeks.

I’ve posted a set of over 100 photos from the first day. I tried to edit. We took over 300 that day! I don’t even know how many we took throughout the trip.

The above is one gem from that marvelous first day… the weather was gorgeous and we stumbled upon this incredible château right on the side of the highway. We came around a bend and pulled over when we saw the turnout. I hadn’t seen it as I was concentrating on driving. I didn’t know where Château de Montpoupon (saying this outloud is really fun) was as I got out of the car and asked my husband, “Where’s this alleged château?”

Turning around, I was met with a beautiful and magical sight. One of many experienced during this trip that I’ll be sharing.

découverte et d’aventure

This video makes me cry. For all sorts of reasons, mostly happy ones.

You need to see the full HD version on YouTube to really appreciate it.

Yesterday I purchased 2 things that will help fulfill a long held dream… an amazingly comfortable pair of mary janes and a Moleskine Paris notebook.

This year, I may not be seeing Blur in London, but there’s another dream trip I’ll be doing instead. Remi and I are traveling to Paris this Spring. We’re going… no what if’s or maybes. We are going. Planning is already underway.

If you’ve traveled there before, any tips, recommendations, suggestions are most welcome!
