Shoes dampened but not your spirit! Strolling the streets of Paris together. Would you have thought it was even possible a few years ago? Just wonderful to think of the two of you in such a romantic circumstance. *sigh*
I have started reading your blogs aloud to my dad and showing him the pictures. He loves the beauty of your words and photography, so keep up the great work - your fan base is growing! Much to be grateful for, indeed.
Beautiful pictures and story, Alie. Such a treat to be able to follow you daily (I really missed you when you didn't have Internet access!). I cancelled my sailing trip so that I can be with my dad. I am with him in his room now (he's napping) feeling intense gratitude for good friends, and WiFi (that's two for the day right there, Steve). My cousin Shannon came to visit from Nova Scotia and I hadn't seen her since she was an infant, so really felt the connection with you visiting your cousins, Alie.
hi Derek it's four years already that I lost my Dad, and that you and Steve lost Jim. As we spend time here in the Western provinces I can feel my Dad again and it brings back so many memories of him especially. goodbyes are so hard but the memories that we build thankfully bridge the loss somewhat in due time. I am glad you like our blog, it has become a great way for us to track all we have done and encountered, I find it fascinating to focus back on the day in such detail and find little pearls in it that I would have missed otherwise. I feel i am starting to live the day more through this process, something Steve was already doing. We are thinking of you Derek while you are spending time with your Dad and sending hugs, Alie
Great photos you two. German is a language all its own, isn't it? I remember going to a restaurant and having no idea what to order. From the pictures the weather looks cool. Is it?
Cool But Beautiful Hey Derek, it has been rather windy and cold at times. Alie is a bit disheartened that we have actually come to cooler temperatures while it finally warms up in Edmonton. Good thing we didn't come for the weather. The trip has been marvelous prompting frequent memories of our Pender trips; Alie has had a great sense of pacing and mixing up experiences in her planning. Hope all is well and look forward to sharing stories with you. When are you off sailing with Pierre? Say hi to Kevin on your next run and tell him I am eager to catch up with him.
Steve
bon voyage! Hey Alie and Steve,
The blog looks great and I am so happy that the two of you are finally taking a honeymoon! I will be following you regularly, so keep up the entries.
Hugs, Derek
Trip planned to Europe on May2, 2013 thr May 23, 2013. This is our honeymoon, we recently got married on December 27, 2012. My husband has two kids and I have 3. Rather then keeping a diary I am setting up this blog so they can keep up with us during our travels. ... full info
