Oct. 16: We both found Évora to be totally charming and neither of us were in a rush to leave, even though we knew Beja was our final destination for the day. The carriage ride yesterday revealed a few places we wanted to see today and so it was.

Olympic Peninsula to Victoria
by Sherri
SherriSep. 2 and 3: I am now settled into a charming loft on Yates Street in Victoria, British Columbia. It took a lot to get here from my home in Eugene, Oregon. Departing on Friday afternoon of Labor Day was not ideal, but it was what worked in mine and Michael’s schedule,

NYC — South Street Seaport and Aldea
by Sherri
SherriAug. 10: New York City is arguably the greatest place on earth. This assumes that you like cosmopolitan cities. And that you also are fond of outspoken and forthright people. And part of the reason why I am more than halfway willing to stand behind my statement that New York City is the greatest place on earth,

The Food — La Comida de Zihuatanejo
by Sherri
SherriFor me, eating is always a huge part of travel or life for that matter. It is very important to me to connect with the people serving fresh and local food. Whether one is traveling on a budget or traveling in luxury, they can (and should, IMHO) make a point of sampling the local cuisine.

Vieux Lyon & Croix-Rousse — Oct 7
by Sherri
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.
We started the day with 20 minutes of yoga. It was difficult to do yoga in Paris,

Fourvière & Paul Bocuse — Oct 8
by Sherri
SherriI am in Provence now, dedicating a quiet evening to blogging. It’s quite peaceful and welcoming and cozy. And I am determined to not fall behind, or at least catch up when I fall behind, before I fall even further behind. OK – enough of this, let’s go back a couple days to Lyon,

Market & Silk Atelier — Oct 9
by Sherri
SherriLyon has been wonderful, and knowing it was our last day in this city, we had a few must dos to complete our time here and a few would like to dos, if we could squeeze them in.
First thing, I did a power walk up the 500 steps to the Basilique.

Lesson at SCOOK — Oct 10
by Sherri
SherriEven though we didn’t go to bed until 2am, we set our alarms for 7:30am, because we wanted to have some time to enjoy the Maison Pic while awake. Its understated elegance is as charming as charming gets.
Neither of us were really hungry, but Dan didn’t want to pass up the chance to see what Anne-Sophie could offer for petite déjeuner (breakfast).

Exploring Haute Provence — Oct 12
by Sherri
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.
