Things that happen and things we seek out

Gouda, Netherlands

Posted on December 13, 2018December 12, 2018 by Sandra

We were looking for a place to stay in or near Amsterdam.  We also wanted to visit The Hague and Rotterdam.  We ended up finding the perfect place in Gouda!  We didn’t know anything about Gouda except that it had a cheese market with, of course, Gouda cheese. The first thing we saw as we…

Posted on November 27, 2018November 16, 2018 by Sandra

James was due for a spa day while we were in France. We made an appointment at Lady’s Dog in Antibes, France. The owners/groomers have a sweet Afghan Hound puppy named Lady. While James was being groomed, we walked around Antibes. The best part of the spa day? The glitter that they applied as a…

Posted on November 24, 2018November 8, 2018 by Sandra

If there is a park or an open space in France, people are playing Bocce there! It is a SERIOUS sport here and the players are really, really good!

Manual Transmission Chaos!

Posted on November 20, 2018November 8, 2018 by Sandra

Sandra decided she wanted to drive while in Germany. The problem was, Sandra hadn’t driven a manual transmission car in over 20 years! How did she do? Sandra was obviously discombobulated while trying to sing Rodney Atkins, so here is the full song for you to enjoy:

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Posted on November 19, 2018November 5, 2018 by Sandra

It was a quick and easy train ride to Monaco from Villefranche-sur-Mer so we made a day trip out of it.  Monaco has one of the most beautiful, modern train stations: The Monaco Opera House: The slowest corner in Formula One – the famous Fairmont Hairpin turn: We did a little shopping and James was…

Posted on November 14, 2018November 8, 2018 by Sandra

The Plage des Marinières is right by the train station in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France. When we arrived by train, we saw people playing on the beach with their kids and dogs. I was excited that the beach was dog friendly! We walked over there one day and the beach was empty. We saw a sign that…

Plage de la Darse in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

Posted on November 13, 2018November 4, 2018 by Sandra

The sun is out and we are finally getting a taste of Spring weather! We decided to head down to the Plage de la Darse in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France. This is a small, hidden beach. It is behind the port and below the Promenade des Professeurs. The entire beach is pebbles, not sand. The water is…

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France

Posted on November 9, 2018November 4, 2018 by Sandra

We walked over to Cap Ferrat one day with James. We didn’t spot any celebrities (we were told Bono and Bill Gates have homes here) but we did enjoy the many lush plant-covered pedestrian paths. We stopped and took some photos along the water with James:

Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

Posted on November 8, 2018November 4, 2018 by Sandra

Villefranche-sur-Mer is a small town in France with big surprises! The water is so clear and beautiful and the train station is right on the water! It is a short walk through town and the heart of town is almost all pedestrian-only. We were there during the Combat Naval Fleuri – a part of the…

Nice, France

Posted on November 2, 2018November 1, 2018 by Sandra

We are loving Nice, France! I love the shopping and the Promenade du Paillon is such an amazing park! There are tons of kids and dogs running around. We also walked down to the Promenade des Anglais along the Mediterranean. My favorite store in France? Picard! I will do an entire post on Picard soon….

Train Ride with an Oceanfront View

Posted on October 9, 2018October 1, 2018 by Sandra

We took the train from La Spezia, Italy to Villefranche-sur-Mer, France and it was the most beautiful oceanfront train ride! James was nice and comfortable at our feet. It is so nice being able to travel around Europe by train with a large dog! James is one lucky Poodle! We had this whole train car…

Porto Venere, Italy

Posted on October 5, 2018October 1, 2018 by Sandra

We knew we wanted to visit Portofino, Italy, and when I was looking at the map I saw Porto Venere. I thought at first that Porto Venere was Portofino (sometimes the Italian name is different from the English name) and then I realized it was a different port town near Cinque Terre. I am glad…

Portofino, Italy

Posted on October 3, 2018October 1, 2018 by Sandra

We were really excited to see THE Portofino, Italy – not the copy in Orlando, Florida. Portofino is a really small port town and there are tons of walking paths all around that lead to beautiful houses and amazing views. We really loved SO many details that Universal’s Portofino hotel copied so well from the…

La Spezia, Italy

Posted on September 26, 2018September 24, 2018 by Sandra

We are really enjoying La Spezia, Italy! We knew it was a port town, but we didn’t realize it was a cruise ship port town! We are already talking about taking a cruise in this area in the future. Our apartment is right in the heart of town where most of the streets are pedestrian-only….

Ponte Vecchio: The Jewelry Bridge

Posted on September 20, 2018September 20, 2018 by Sandra

The Ponte Vecchio in Florence translates to “Old Bridge” but it should really be called the Jewelry Bridge! It is a beautiful pedestrian bridge that crosses the Arno River. We were thinking maybe the buildings on the bridge used to be apartments. But once we did some research we realized they were always shops. They…
