Day One

Day one of our adventure was verrrryyyy long. We arrived at our apartment at 11:30am local time and it was definitely time for a little shut eye. After recharging our batteries we set out to check out our new neighbourhood. Here are a few pictures of the people and places in our 'hood.

This is right outside our apartment

A little mural

Large courtyard just around the corner from us.

One of many bridges over the Seine.

Maddie & Lee

We are only a 5 minute walk to the Norte Dame. Here are some the gargoyles guarding the building.


One of many sites of the "love locks"


As we sat down to enjoy some dinner a huge rain storm started. Just minutes before a couple was enjoying their drinks on the sidewalk. Now only their glasses filling with rain remain.

Weekend adventure to Osoyoos

I always love taking in a few wine tastings when I'm in Osoyoos. This trip was no exception.

The barrel room at Hester Creek Winery

Our purchases ready to head home with us.

Wine glasses set out ready for all to enjoy a wonderful glass of  Hester Creek's best.
Beautiful flowers on the tasting tables at Road 13.
