Plaça de Catalunya, Barcelona
I haven’t blogged for a while because we were on a trip to Europe to pick up our daughter in Barcelona, where she was studying aboard for 4 months. I included a few pictures of her travels on previous posts. I had thought about posting during the trip but rethought it for a couple of reasons. I am including the reasons to let other people who might think about blogging, why I chose not to. First and foremost is because of my website, which includes my blog, is open to the public and since I work from my home, it includes my home address, and I just didn’t want everyone in the world to know that I wasn’t home at the time. I did post pictures on my personal FB page, but I keep the settings pretty secure on it, and hopefully I can trust my friends!:) The other reason was we were so busy we barely had time to sleep.

I will include some of the pictures that I used on my FB page, but I will also share others. I hope to do several different posts on the trip, because I took so many pictures and I want to cover several different subject areas.
Southern Spain
We started in Barcelona where Hannah was, and then we rented a car and the real adventure started as we drove across the South of France staying in Bed and Breakfasts, and driving thru little villages and seeing the sites.

Our first 2 nights were in Montpellier, then we drove to Nice and stayed there for 2 nights.

Southern France
We then drove back to Marseille and caught the train to Paris.
We stayed in Paris for 3 days, then took the train thru the Chunnel to London and stayed for 3 days there. This is just a brief description and will fill in with details as I go along, so if anyone is planning a trip I hope to include some good information that you can use.
Big Ben, London, England
For this post I just want to give you a taste of our trip and then I hope to follow-up with more details of our trip. I hope to do a post for each major area we visited, a post of Window treatments and soft furnishings that I saw in many of the places we visited, some in Palaces and others in Museums. I will also try to possibly do a post on all the flowers and vegetation, so if you are a gardener or plant lover I should have something for you also. I might throw in a foodie post because there is so many different dishes to share with you! And I will try to include some traveling tips along the way. Here is just a small one: Take a wash cloth! The european’s do not use them, they were not in any of the places we stayed except one, and it was one of the B&B’s we stayed at, but it was owned by a couple that was half American!
So I hope you follow along on our adventures!
Thanks for stopping by!
