Bonjour everybody been in Paris for 4 days now but need to leave a few years just to take it all in The spacecadets are already singing 'I've been everywhere man I been everywhere' god love them and that was the whole idea of this adventure folks no 5 star hotels coaches escorted tours just a backpack and laptop... and get do http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-457779.html Texto em breve http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Provence-Alpes-C-te-d--Azur/Nice/blog-457293.html C'est la vie So the past couple of days have been pretty gross and rainycould probably explain my rather morose mood and this rather long and rambling blog entry haha. Can't complain too much since the rainy days are very few and far between but those kinds of days are definitely the hardest. Trying to save money on our salary means avoiding activities that cost money. That's not too difficu http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Provence-Alpes-C-te-d--Azur/Nice/blog-457237.html For anyone interested in visiting Paris I have put together a simple set of operating instructions.The first comes courtesy of Aase's mother in Denmark who says There is no bad weather. Just wrong clothing. This is especially true during the offseason when fashion takes a back seat to comfort especially if you're the kind of person that likes to keep moving. And truthfully there is no way http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-456847.html Day 27 Wednesday September 23 2009We left sunny Beaune and began the two and a half hour drive towards Alsace where we would stay for two nights in the town of Colmar. I slept for most of the journey but did wake up at one point to see that the sun was being covered by a very thick layer of fog. Considering it was nearly 1200 in the afternoon I found it very strange to see the fog.

I know how much heshe is devoted to our guests and our duties. I wrote a letter to himher asking for hisher expertise knowing how hard it was for himher to find even a few seconds of hisher time. But heshe is so knowledgeable about so many sensitive fields that I really felt in need http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-456383.html I've threatened it before but this time it's true. I've got fond of this TravelBlog site but it no longer really reflects what I do.... journeys all the way to the veg. patch or Lavelanet market don't really count as Travel with a big T I don't think. So I've started a blog in Wordpress called Life in Laroque. Try www.margaret21.wordpress.com if you'd like to have a look. It would be good http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Midi-Pyr-n-es/Ariege/blog-456360.html A MUST for anyone who likes wavesA long weekend in Biaritz is really more than enough to discover and enjoy this very charming coastal town giving onto the Atlantic. My advice would be to check the weather forecast before going there. Because like all beach towns giving onto an open ocean when the wind blows...It ain't a joke The atmosphere is vibrant and young eventhough there is a lot of http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Aquitaine/Biarritz/blog-455774.html I am back from my trip to Nepal since 05 november. I came back with an unshaved beard and long hair.I made no change in my way of commenting my daily life and in my peaceful approach to it since my post publishing on O3 and here.But what is the link with the bearded depressive guy of 2002 and 2003 who got complete shave and hair cut when french laws came to autorize taping and filming privates.NO http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/blog-455642.html Itrsquos a strange lifeFor the past few weeks after daylight saving finished in Europe we had been waking in the morning quite latesometimes not until 8am even.Yet this morningwithout a car for the first time in months to get to our next destinationwe are awake at 5.30amAnd all this because we had programmed out minds to think that we must be awake so we can get prepared and over to the http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-455308.html Day 1Me and my roommate Caryn and our friend Ben on our abroad program went to Paris this past weekend. We flew into Paris Friday morning through AirFrance. We got in around 930am but we spent 2 hours in traffic on the way to the hotel. I had only gotten 4 hours of sleep so i was frustrated but once we were out of traffic it was fine. We got to the hotel we stayed at Le Meridien. It was very http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-455138.html The most scenic way to burn 700800 calories Yesterday my roommate and I hiked from our apartment in Cimiez to VilleFranche the next town over from Nice and took the Sentier Littoral. The weather was absolutely gorgeous It was sunny and warmfor most of the day I wore just a tshirt and it's almost the end of November So we walked down from our apartment through town to the port http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Provence-Alpes-C-te-d--Azur/Nice/blog-455056.html The outside of the house is finished Woop Woop we are allowed our chinese buffet on Saturday. I am so excitedFinished the painting and stripped the scaffold wasn't too bad getting it down easier than I thought it would be mind you Rob did all the hard bits all I did was hold things and take things down to ground level.The house looks so much nicer without all that ugly scaffold in front http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Poitou-Charentes/blog-454850.html The day is starting out with a thick fog which is probably made worse by the large lake below where our cabin is located.And there is absolutely no wind to blow the fog away so we will hope that once we get on the road and away from the water the fog may lift.The road away from Larche wanders through a mix of empty farmland and forest for a good distance until we crossed over the top of A20 which http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Midi-Pyr-n-es/blog-454674.html Lesson of the Day When an ugly French doctor asks you to take your top of for a chest XRay close your eyes and imagine Taylor Lautner So basically the first half of this entry is for everyone who wanted me to spill about New Moon before it comes out at home.

Even now I am tempted to compose the usual blather stuff you could read in a guidebook if you chose to. Back in Canada we made the decision to come here arbitrarily by sticking a pushpin into the map of Europe. Together and separately we had been to Paris a total of five times spanning four decades three seasons http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-454350.html
