This is an initial post for my new blog, partly just to make sure I know what I'm doing! I am about to take my very first trip to Europe, along with my sister Barbara and her husband Mike. I will be taking my laptop with me to post a trip diary and pictures for anyone who happens to be interested.
To practice posting photos, here is a picture of me taken in London in 2011:
That was the best trip I've ever taken (with the Canadian Rockies a close second). I expect this new trip to be equally exciting. We leave on June 8 and return on June 26. The first part of our trip will be spent in Barcelona, Spain, exploring the city and eating lots of seafood & tapas and hopefully getting to practice our Spanish. After that we will be staying in a friend's house in the town of Valras-Plage, France (on the Mediterranean coast between Montpellier and Perpignan), enjoying the beach and exploring the whole region. Stay tuned!
