Our apartment in Mirano, with the arched windows.

The St Gotthard Pass

Our drive through Switzerland from Tasch to Emmetten may have been short but oh my, it was interesting.  First we went over possibly the highest mountain pass we have ever driven over, the St Gotthard Pass.  Narrow, winding roads with 2,000 ft drops Read more →

Bonne, France

Sunset in Bonne.

We arrived in Bonne after a 5 hour drive from Paris.  The journey was relaxing, driving through beautiful French countryside on quiet highways.  Our tolls for this journey totaled Euro 47.60 which we thought was very reasonable for a 5 hour drive, which could have been an 8 hour drive on toll free roads.

Dory at our first stop in Bonne, France.

My cousins house with a lovely English garden.

Farewell Canada

May 22, 2018October 25, 2024Susan

And we’re off……we have spent the past 3 months in Calgary and it is with anticipation, and some trepidation of the unknown, we begin our travels to unfamiliar places.  It has been an easy start to our home-free life spending 2 months in Florida Read more →
