Have dreams, will travel.
Bonjour! Hello! Yesterday I left Quebec City, the capital of the province of Quebec and the oldest city in North America north of Mexico. A city of approximately 540,000 people it is French-speaking though many speak English also. The Old Town (Vieux Quebec) is very walkable and has a number of points if interest. Definitely...

Paris' crowning museum is, of course, the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre). It's not the world's largest as far as museums go - that title belongs the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. It is however, the world's largest art museum (and the world's second largest museum overall). A mind-boggling 38,000 paintings, sculptures, and artifacts spanning millennia... Continue Reading →
Many of my travels are not grand adventures. In fact, much of the time it is simply about walking about and seeing new-to-me places. Nothing exciting yet still enjoyable for me. In some cases, I wander around one small area or neighbourhood taking it all in. Other times, I cover as much ground as I... Continue Reading →

Here you will find buildings made so long ago that they pre-date the Pyramids of Egypt. Now that is old. I need to... Continue Reading →
We had finished our meal and stepped outside into the muggy air. I looked to my right as we walked along the path leading way from the hall to see dozens and dozens of men and women giving their time to prepare food, feed, and clean the dishes of the all those who came to... Continue Reading →
HAPPY NEW YEAR! January - the beginning of a new year. One where “resolutions” are made, oft with the best of intentions. A new start. That can be so very exciting. Other times we continue on with where we are. Whichever way you start 2019 I hope it is the way you wish it to... Continue Reading →
When the word pyramid is uttered it is safe to say most people associate the word with the Great Pyramids of Giza. And rightly so - they are incredible to see and have survived over several millennia. They, however, are not the only pyramids in the world nor the only ones in Egypt (though they...
