October 11, 2022 London and New York This is it. The last day of our 25-Day Magical European Tour. We packed in a lot of adventures with good food. There was an electric tea pot in our hotel room however the cord did not reach the outlet. It also didn’t have a plug…
October 10, 2022 London Our adventure is almost over. We leave tomorrow. I am amazed at everything we have packed in so far. Still we have a full day left. I wanted to try to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens. We left the hotel a little after 10am. We stood at a bus…
October 9, 2022 Aix-en-Provence, France and London, England All good things must come to an end. It is time to say Au Revoir to Aix-en-Provence. We are sad, but we will return. Josée had recommended a restaurant on the Cours Mirabeau, Le Singe Vert, or the green monkey. With a few hours left, we…

October 5, 2022 Aix-en-Provence, France Bonjour! We had a comfortable night’s sleep, our first night in Aix.
