It has been awhile since we sent an update. Last message was from Freiburg, one of our favorite spots. Liked it so well we stayed an extra day - 5 total. Bike about 33 km around the valley the last day and went to an organ concert that evening in the cathedral. Very pretty cathedral with pinkish/mauve sandstone walls. Different from the others we had seen. We left Freiburg and headed east across southern Germany to Fussen and Lake Foggensee - a beautiful lake with rolling hills to the north and steep mountains to the south. Spent one day bicycling by the lake and I also swam in the lake. Spent the second day taking the cable car up the mountain, doing some hiking and watching the hang gliders. City and country really merge in Germany. ... read more

We had planned to stay in Provence area for several days, but heat unbearable in Avignon and surrounding area. In high 90^s during the day with humidity 80% or higher. Didnt cool down much at night and with no fan or air conditioning in the RV was unbearable. On Tuesday we drove to Grenoble and spent the afternoon finding a Mailbox, Etc to ship home some items. Grenoble is a prettz city surrounded by beautiful mountains. Temperature much better in the day, but we could only get overflow location in the campground so right in the sun and although cooler, there was not a breath of a breeze that night. That was one of the longest nights we have ever spent and with almost no sleep. Just too hot. Got up early yesterday and headed further ... read more

We are traveling along the Mediterranean coastline heading northeast toward Barcelona. We are in a campground in Vinaros, a small fishing (becoming tourist) area about half way between Valencia and Barcelona. The campground is very nice with large sites surrounded by hedges for privacy, a restaurant and snack bar, nice swimming pool, great bath facilities and a 10 minute walk from the beach. We will stay here a couple of days for our resort part of the trip. Also one of the most affordable campgrounds we have been in. Looks like there is a bike path along the beach that we will check out today. Must tell you about our last night in Mojocar. We had found a local restaurant bar that had a large screen TV so went there on our last night to see ... read more

Tuesday afternoon we arrived in Spain entering from the northeast corner from France and stopping at Bilbao. Had some trouble finding the campground since Spain is under construction and new roads replaced what the GPS said. Finally found it on a high hill overlooking the ocean. Beautiful view. Immediately headed into town to see the Guggenheim Museum. For you super museum buffers, we will disappoint you. We primarily wanted to see the exterior of the building with its modernistic style and fish scale type covering. Quite a sight sitting on the river directly across from old world style buildings and numberous new blocky apartment buildings. It is an amazing structure. We didn´t go in since neither of us are too into modern art which is its forte. We walked along the river to the old town, ... read more

We arrived in Paris late afternoon Sunday and have been on the move ever since. We are staying in a great campground. It is in the suburb of Versailles. Great services including FREE hot water in the showers and dish washing areas, a swimming pool and community room with large screen TV for watching soccer games. Monday we took the train into the city to the Place de Concorde, spent most of the afternoon at the Louve and then walked down the Champs Elysse (sp?) to the Arc de Triomphe. On Tuesday we went to Notre Dame and then walked down the Blvds St. Michel and St. Germaine window shopping at the book stores and other shops. Bought roast chicken from a vendor and a bagette from a bakery and had lunch in the gardens at ... read more
