Up at 9 for coffee and the weather is beautiful. Word has it there is a market in Flayosc, so we go — Mike, Liz, Patty M, Jim and Jane G. There is no market. But we find street-side paella and buy enough for lunch for all. We stop at a fruit market...

We stop in Draguignan for groceries to make sure we have something to eat at the villa. Major hubbub with French people darting this way and that. They know what to do in a French supermarket, and we do not. We are at the villa by 5:20. The guardian...

Checkout time is noon and we wake up late. Just enough time for breakfast — this time on the Patio of Yellow Umbrellas. Charlie and Jane want to tour the old town, so Patty, Mike and Liz drive the corniche below the Esterel. We stop at a monument...

An easy day in St. Raphael, where the weather is apparently always beautiful. At least it has been during our stay. With Charlie and Jane driving our way from Cassis, we decide to stay close to “home,” visiting familiar places, dining on...

The wind is down, and we arise early and head to the breakfast room for coffee, hard-boiled eggs, babybel cheese, a little Laughing Cow, croissants, and fruit compote. We drive to the old town, and traffic is fierce. We park near the harbor and tour...

The Villa Aramis sets a nice breakfast table, with cereal and toasts and baguettes and many choices of jam, and a bottomless cup of coffee. After checkout, we make for the coastal town of St. Raphael, little realizing the streets of Nice are steep and...

Go here and click on any photo for a slideshow We made it to Nice on time, although it was nip and tuck getting to the Nice leg on time. Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam is huge and our Minneapolis flight landed on one end of the airport while our departure...

Memorial Day weekend was spent at the Ely cabin building a new deck. Carpenters were Pat, Doug and Mike with meal services provided by Christine and Bob (and mighty fine food it was!). Weather cooperated, even to allow swimming in the seventy degree lake...

The Lunderoy’s hosted “the rents” Liz and Mike for a spring visit to Austin Texas. In addition to the requisite BBQ and TexMex dining out, we grilled fish, had Kelly’s homemade key lime pie and dinner with a movie at the Alamo...

On our last day in Italy we unexpectedly found ourselves in the middle of a huge event called “Par Tot” (meaning “For All”). I had a great vantage point standing on the edge of the Neptune fountain, joined by our friend Patrick...

What’s left to do? Ah, the Museum of Medieval History. Most museums we are accustomed to feature collections gathered from around the world, typical of an era or a people. But in Bologna, the collections are of local history. Bologna is unique in...

Awoke late today. Despite the best efforts of our most hard-working maid, our room is starting to smell funny. Heat. Bananas. Cheese. Bad combo. But it’s raining, which is lovely. A cool drizzle. The Italians are freezing. We are loving it. After...

Got an early start today, and discovered a whole area of town not seen before, just outside our hotel. Toy shop, meat shop, restaurant, bunch of cops standing around waiting for trouble that never happens. First stop — The Basilica of San Francesco,...

An earlier start today, as we have learned that everything closes at 1, and that by 1 we will be exhausted and sweaty and will need to go back to the hotel to dry out. A creepy mime greets us in the Piazza, a small part of the endless activity there....

We left Minneapolis at 3:25ish, after a slight delay due to an Indian woman’s anxiety attack. After her husband’s pleas for either a roomier seat or anxiety drugs were rebuffed, they left, and the baggage handlers had to rummage through and...
