There aren’t many cathedrals that have the allure that this Parisian landmark has. If there’s a downside, it’s that there are too many people wanting to see it. But, even if it’s on every touristy list, it’s still worth checking out. Whether you see it for religious, architectural or historical reasons, it is impressive. I […]

I went traveling to France, and Paris specifically, for a friend’s wedding. I didn’t realize that the reception was going to be on a boat on the Seine. After boarding our boat in the late afternoon, we started our cruise…with champagne in hand. I really loved seeing Paris from this perspective. Boats, bridges, monuments like […]

Of all the shots, I’ve been posting for the last year, I think this one is one of my all-time favorites. Taken in Mykonos while traveling in Greece, it captures the island beautifully. Whitewashed exteriors are accented with just a touch of color, often blue, but not exclusively. Nearby is Mykonos’ bustling center filled with […]

I took my niece with me to travel to Greece for three weeks. And, there was one thing on her mind – BEACH! So, I worked in tours to some of the historical sites, but the rest of the time was spent finding Greece’s top beaches. When we hit Santorini, we stayed over on the […]

The grounds are set in the mountains so a pair of hiking boots wouldn’t be completely unwarranted. But, you don’t have to be […]
