Lessons Learned in France : Priceless
I have been dreading writing this post. I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to say for the past 8 days and I’m still no closer to knowing how to put my thoughts into words. So I’m just going to come out and say it: Nate and I have decided to move [...]
Travel Photos, Finally
Finally. We’ve had enough time to do a few updates and, as you can tell, we’re finally getting a few things updated on the site. First thing: the photos. It’s about time.
Also, I (Nate) finally got off my butt and fixed the map on the right too. Fixing that not [...]
The Fine Cuisine of Aurignac
Although Nate and I are trying to save money we decided to splurge a little last week and go out for a relaxing dinner. We went to a local pub and took a seat. They didn’t have a very large menu but they did have about 7 items on a Plat de Jour [...]
The Parana Café: Our home away from home
These pictures are from our café in Theoule. We went to this cafe everyday and became close to the owner, Bridgette (in the middle) and the two waiters, Humberto (on the left) and Franck (on the right). They helped us with our French and were so patient with our terrible pronunciations. They [...]
Italian Travels
Three weeks ago we met up with some friends, Tony & Caroline, in Rome for a week of traveling. The plan was to spend a week in Italy and then they would come back to our flat in France for a week of relaxing at the beach. Tony’s family is Sicilian and Italian [...]
Move-in Day
Today we move into our new flat. We still have a bunch of cleaning and reorganizing to do but we should be sleeping in our new home tonight! It is definitely an exciting day. We have been staying with Estelle and Manu for 15 days now!! That’s 1/2 a month. [...]
We found a flat in Theoule-sur-Mer
As of yesterday we have secured a flat (insert lots of cheering and tears of joy). It’s in a town called Theoule-sur-Mer. Theoule is pronounced Tae-ool and sur-mer means “on the sea”). It’s a wonderful little beach village just west of Cannes. Our flat faces west towards some beautiful green hills dotted [...]
The Sky is Falling
This past week has been pretty rainy here. There was some lightening and thunder and lots of rain. A little depressing as this time of year is usually really beautiful and warm. Luckily we decided to rent a car to make the process of finding a place to live easier. Last [...]
Gidget’s Gone
Nate bought me a beautiful silver Mini Cooper last year for my birthday. I’d been wanting a Mini for about 5 years and Nate told me that we could buy one when I saved half of the amount of the car. I was still several thousand dollars short (read: I kept spending it [...]
We are in the Côte d’Azur!!
Sorry for such a long delay in posting here but after a lot of frustration of not being able to get an internet connection and no cell service for almost a week we are finally connected again!
So obviously a lot has happened in the eight days since we left San Diego. I [...]
