SherriOct. 20: Palatial life – now this, we can get used to. We are hanging at the Palace, pretending we are royalty. Is there a better way to spend an evening? Our morning began with the massages I had scheduled yesterday. I was really looking forward to some much needed self-care time.

SherriIt’s 10am and I am watching the sun peek over the Chugach Mountains. It’s a sight I could get used to, this is for sure. Dan wanted to go for a vigorous morning walk and I am catching up on blogging. Always a challenge to write when traveling, as there is more adventuring to be had.

SherriToday is cooler, I can tell, simply by the open window in the kitchen and the cool air drifting in through it. Yesterday was a very full day and I hope I can recall all the details, before they blend together, like a nice creamy soup on a cool, autumn day.

SherriArtelit is a sweet place, and I am glad we found this gem. I smile whenever I turn around, or try to lay my head on something and knock into some piece of art.

SherriA rainy evening in Provence. I am sure after a hot and dry summer, the earth is just soaking up all the rain right now and rejoicing. Back at home in Oregon, it has been in the 80’s and simply not letting summer go. If I wasn’t in France, I’d be a tad envious now.

SherriIt’s our last day to enjoy the spa and we do. It’s a great perk of being at this modest and sweet hotel. On our few days here, we have passed by this and that, but we haven’t really done Arles in full, and today, we will. It’s a small town and one can get around on foot,

I was interested in doing a Jewish day in Amsterdam. I had done one in France and, being Jewish, it just made sense. I biked to Nieuwmarkt, which is very central to the city and where the Jewish history and current culture is centered. First I had a late breakfast at an Indonesian deli,

SherriI am an early riser by nature, but when hanging in the tropics, I am even more so. The first sign of dawn and I am up and at ’em. The mosquitos had a field day on me last night, but I scratched myself like a mad woman and shrugged it off.
