Sometimes this blog gets buried underneath all the other crap I have going on in my life, and this past couple of months has definitely been one of those times. I’m a man of many projects, and sometimes I’m so busy working on those projects, I forget to take the time to write about them! [...]
Here we are at the last trip log for France and Barcelona. This one covers the day after the wedding, the following day and (briefly) the flight home. Sunday – May 16th – Albi and Cordes Charlotte and I wake at 9:45 to her sister Axelle knocking on the door and politely asking us if [...]
We’re reaching the final days of this travel log. Today we cover the civil wedding ceremony, the religious wedding ceremony, and the reception. Tomorrow’s update should be the last of ‘em. Friday – May 14th – Albi Civil Ceremony In the morning, Charlotte gets up and goes to the bank. She’s got some money that’s [...]
Thursday – May 13th – Toulouse to Albi In the morning, I feel less nauseous but my whole body feels like it’s full of ground glass. Fun! Still, I want to see some of Toulouse, even though it’s still grey and cold out, not to mention a French holiday. Undeterred, we wander first to a [...]
Another magnificent, two-day update for you today. First we explore the walled city of Carcassonne, and then we drive to Toulouse, where I get food poisoning, or something. Woo! Tuesday – May 11th – Carcassonne Charlotte and I wake up a bit late (even for us), and decide that we want to spend another night [...]
Saturday – May 8th – Barcelona Having no alarm and not having a wake-up call, we don’t get up until around noon. I’m pretty hung-over, but snagging a coffee and a bottle of water helps to mitigate that issue. we’ve decided to have lunch at Bar Velódromo, an art-deco cafe at the edge of Barcelona’s [...]
Going to try to do a log for each day that we were away. I’ve written several up in advance, so I should hopefully be able to crank out one or two a day for the next week or so. Some are longer than others, so for the long ones like today’s, I’ll only post [...]
It seems that 2010 is going to be a year of non-stop traveling for Charlotte and I, but starting tomorrow we embark upon what is likely to be the biggest and most varied trip of the year. We’re flying from Indianapolis to JFK Airport in New York, and then from JFK to Barcelona, Spain. We’ll [...]
I’ve posted four different galleries of pictures from Charlotte and my trip to France for Christmas. None of these galleries feature any pics of me throwing up on a Paris commuter train on the way to the airport to fly back to the USA … but trust me when I say that’s a good thing! [...]
Ah, December … best of the winter months, because sure, it’s freezing and gross out, but at least a huge chunk of us get to huddle together with our families for warmth, drinking lots of booze and feasting on sugary treats while tearing open our many gifts. This year I’ll be doing that in France, [...]
