In May/June 2019, I lead another photography trip across France with a few stops in other countries. This also means Vive la France! is back for your enjoyment. During our two weeks roaming beautiful Europe with our cameras, we visited France, Germany, Jersey and England. The best part about taking camera-loving people to Europe is that some have never left […]
In June/July 2018, I got to show my friend, Rebecca, around France. This was her first trip to Europe and she had the most incredible time. You can now travel with us, through our newly released highlight videos, Vive la France! Our trip together lasted 10 days, and then we went separate ways – I went to Provence to attend […]
Breakfast at Hotel Alcodega was a feast which we throughly enjoyed, and then we were off to do some more exploring. We started our self-guided tour by going to the Tourism Office located a short walk down the promenade from the San Marco pier to purchase our gondola ride tickets. In this area, there are lots of souvenir stalls and […]
Today my travel buddy, Ruth, and I arrived in Venice! It’s a first for both of us and I’ve been looking forward to finally visiting. After all, Italy is a photographer’s paradise and one of my favorite places on the planet! Ruth has never been to Italy and I’m dying for her to experience this part of Europe…sadly, I know she […]
Today is day seven. We spent our last day in Paris doing nothing that was listed on our lovely schedule. We woke up and said, “Forget it!” and finally made it out at 9:00 am. It was an overcast, but warm morning when we crossed the street and walked onto the square to catch an Open Top bus. Our schedule […]
Today is day six! We slept in this morning and now the bags under our eyes are looking much better. Ruth has been enjoying a croissant with jam each morning for her breakfast and since I don’t enjoy passing out on strangers laps, I’m a Müesli girl. My bowl of “substance” keeps me going like the Energizer Bunny, until I […]
It’s day five and we are still loving our grand adventure! Finally, my long-awaited hair wash happened and I’m a very happy girl. Ruth also looks and feels like a new woman. We, once again, left our house promptly at 8:00 am and this time caught the C Train to the southwest side of the city and got off at […]
Day three was spent in London. Day four started out, clearly, not as planned because instead of leaving our apartment promptly at 8:00 am to catch the train to Musée du Louvre, we were nowhere near our cozy home or the world-famous glass pyramid. At 8:00 am we were functioning on three braincells in the Charles de Gaulle train terminal […]
Today is day two of our European adventure accompanied by my iPhone pictures. This trip isn’t about sleeping in and wasting time in bed. Oh, no. This was our first full day in Paris and the agenda was full. Today our itinerary included a walking tour from Notre Dame Cathedral to the Pont des Arts Bridge, Conciergerie, and then a Metro […]
Paris is a photographer’s paradise. I shoot a whole different set of images with my iPhone than with my professional camera, and this particular Europe trip is going to be no exception. You’re welcome to join Ruth and me for the next two weeks as we discover some amazing places and make life-time memories. Over 400 days ago, my travel […]
