Après avoir entendu beaucoup de commentaires sur Virginia Beach, nous avons décidé d'aller faire un tour. Nous avons trouvé une belle plage, avec une eau froide en juin, un camping très intéressant mais un avec wi-fi non focntionnel, mais un beau 'boradwalk' pour faire de la bicyclette. C'est à voir!

Bonjour à tous Je vois qu' en France c'est la canicule, ici ce matin c'est la Toussaint. Ciel très couvert, de la bruine, et seulement 11°. Ma Madame GereMene ce matin m'a fait un gros caprice. Je lui demande Norfolk en Virginie, à environ 180km, pas de problème je vois sur la carte ce qu' elle me propose correspond à peut près, à l'idée du point d'arrivée. Docilement je l'écoute, a un feu, je regarde la file à tenir, et je vois: arrivée 4km, comme l'autre jour à NY, je me suis planté. je reprogramme, en étant attentionné, ca devient 1327km, par la suite elle a bloquée sur 935km.

My eye is attracted to odd things. (but don't tell my husband!) When I travel, I look for small, lightweight gifts for my family & friends. This year I traveled to Ecuador and China. It makes for a little confusion on Christmas morning, "did this scarf come from Quito or Changdu?" Even I get confused! This is one of the hazards of international travel. I know there are people who shop all year round and store their stash until the holidays. But I forget. I'm pretty sure the funny-looking, wool hats came from South America, but the scarves are confusing. I shopped at the famous Otavalo market in Ecuador and picked up several scarves. That was June. I came home, put them in my closet and promptly forgot about them. In October, I jetted off to ... read more
