French Lavendar Fields Visiting the lavender fields in Southern France was on my list for several years. This past summer I had a few extra days in Europe at the prime time for viewing, end of June and early July. Before visiting, I was told by several friends that they wouldn’t be as pretty as I expected. And […]

There are some travelers that return to the same destination year after year.  There are others that will never visit the same location twice.  I fall into neither of these categories.  While I am usually looking to visit somewhere new, it is not unusual for me to return to somewhere I’ve been to before. Sometimes […]
