I suppose I’m somehow dating myself here, but I can’t help thinking back to the days when you would buy a 45 or an album because you liked a particular song you heard on the radio. Invariably you took it home and played it a million times. It was your favorite song and you felt as though you were the one who had discovered it. Of course, as time went on, you noticed more and more people we... Read Full Entry

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info

Nice as always
As always, great photos. I totally agree with you on the B side of places; most of the time people (and I include myself here) don't have enough time t see the B side: we were in Paris for just 3 days so, unfortunately, we barely had time to see the "must see". Also, I'm old enough to remember listening to the radio in bed and jumping out when "my song" was being played in order to press the "record" button on my tape recorder... those were the days!

The B side of Paris
it is wonderful that you stay in a city long enough to enjoy and embrace both sides. On our next trip to Paris we will check out your B side suggestions. Sounds like you continue to have a fantastic time. As always the photos are wonderful.

Thanks for reading
I remember the speed travelling days well. We visited the Great Wall of China, Potala Palace in Tibet, Mt. Everest, Khatmandu and saw the Taj Majal in just about a week of travel. Now it takes us 3 days just to figure out the Metro in a city. Both ways are fun. I still miss my 8-track tapes. Ha ha.

Thanks!
Love the Dublin stories. Jealous that a pint costs so much in Paris. There are so many things to do here it is amazing and well worth multiple visits. Every time we go out we discover something new.

Thanks as always!
This is a wonderful place. Even though we will have stayed a month, I think it could be more. I know why so many people love Paris now...

What a treasure!
I really really love that feeling of finding the 'B' side... while reading the start of your blog I smiled to myself as I recalled a similar feeling about the Trevi Fountain in Rome...the first time we saw it we were awe struck by every aspect of it, and then after a few days we'd walk past it with barely a glace, as we pushed our way through to a favourite gelato shop near it :)
