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 [...]


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 [...]


A Day of Rain and Doves

Today started off with a little clouds, but that never stops us from enjoying the warmth of the sea breezes here on the French Riviera. So, since we’re starting to adjust to the extremely slow French life, we went for a little stroll around town.
We returned after lunch to continue with the [...]


First Days in Our New French Home

The past few days have been a mix of wonderful and completely annoying. The annoying parts have been the lack of internet connection. Even though Tilly isn’t an internet-aholic like I am, even she finds being without the internet a major problem as we travel.
How do you find your way? What’s going [...]


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. [...]


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 [...]


Packing and Traveling

The past few days have been kinda crazy, as we mentioned. But, the time is coming. At the time of this writing, the ticker on the side says 5 days and 7 hours left.
Today, Tilly is returning home from the Seattle area. Today the world becomes right again. It’s been [...]
