Glad I made the decision to not stay at the universite and head to Versailles, Posted by Blue Teddy in Blue Teddy and the 14 pillows | Nov 1, 2009
  • Location, location, location ... Estate agents claim that there are only three things that sell a property - Location, location and location. No - we’re not looking to buy property here, (although we could easily be persuaded). It is the numerous ancient castles of Posted by Hawkson in Blissful Adventures | Nov 1, 2009
  • FREE on Sundays... Set the alarm (and heard it this morning) for 7am. I'm hitting the mueums and street markets today! = ) More to come post-expedition. <3 Posted by EveZangel in Wonderlust | Nov 1, 2009
  • Over the Mountains and Far Away ... We’ve been mountaineering … O.K. Anyone who knows us well will immediately smell a rat - not that we’re incapable of making a moderate climb - it’s simply not really us. So we let the car do the climbing and Posted by Hawkson in Blissful Adventures | Oct 31, 2009
  • "Oh, Happy Halloween" Yes. I think that would be a fitting "costume" for this year. Have ready my rumpled map of the city, "sensible" walking shoes, bottled water, and camera armed to ask for directions, look lost, snap pictures of everything Posted by EveZangel in Wonderlust | Oct 31, 2009
  • "What time is it??!" My alarm didn't go off (or maybe I didn't set it up or I simply didn't heard it ring). Either way, I was awaken by one of the hostel-mates, who also overslept! Goodness, 8:30am?!, that is an hour Posted by EveZangel in Wonderlust | Oct 31, 2009
  • Pyrenees Day 1 The Pyrénées are often considered Western Europe’s last wilderness. This is, of course, not true. There is no such thing as a "wilderness" in Western Europe anymore. Any environment that is explored, modified or exploited in any Posted by ernielow in Erin's Abroad View | Jun 27, 2009
  • A Day on the Canal The Canal-du-Midi As any reader of the C/Inspector Bliss mysteries will know, the recently retired British detective is an expert on the life and times of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who ruled France and its dominions from 1638 to 1715.

  • Jet Lag Woke up countless times yesterday night. By 5:30am I was wide awake and decided instead of staying in bed I might as well make the best of my day. Was the only person in the common area using Posted by EveZangel in Wonderlust | Oct 30, 2009
  • First Night My first evening in Paris is officially over. It's technically already the next day. Got lost in the winding streets and road of Paris after my last entry. Got to see good portion of the SE part Posted by EveZangel in Wonderlust | Oct 29, 2009
  • Bonjour, Paris! I'm officially in Paris, yes, not in-transist, on a flight, laidover?, connecting a flight or simply stuck in Charles de Gaulle Airport! Navigated the metro to find my hostel and I was greeted by a familiar face. My Posted by EveZangel in Wonderlust | Oct 29, 2009
  • Vendredi (Friday) Friday Again headed down for breakfast and check out. We had to check out today as we were heading back into Paris tonight.

  • Jeudi (Thursday) The conference continued today. They were very long days, breakfast at 7 and we didn’t finish that night until 7. Tonight’s dinner was a stand around affair. Get food on your plate and stand around to eat it. The French are Posted by Blue Teddy in Blue Teddy and the 14 pillows | Oct 28, 2009
  • Mercredi (Wednesday) I head down for breakfast and meet up with colleagues. Some I hadn’t seen or met until this morning. Today is the first day of the conference, but I establish that it doesn’t start until 1pm. This gives me the Posted by Blue Teddy in Blue Teddy and the 14 pillows | Oct 28, 2009
  • Mardi (Tuesday) Tuesday 20 October I slept terribly. I kept waking in fright. I woke at 4 and there was no way I could go back to sleep. I got up and read for a while and then decided about 7 that I Posted by Blue Teddy in Blue Teddy and the 14 pillows | Oct 27, 2009
  • Sunday Market The French have been embroiled in religious wars since the dark ages and Languedoc Roussillon has seen more than its fair share of blood spilled in the name of god. So, for a country whose roots are so pedantically Posted by Hawkson in Blissful Adventures | Oct 27, 2009
  • Lundi (Monday) I head downstairs for breakfast and one of my colleagues is already there, having started his breakfast but beckons me to join him. He gives me the brief run down on how things are done French style for breakfast. I am Posted by Blue Teddy in Blue Teddy and the 14 pillows | Oct 27, 2009
  • The Vineyards of Languedoc The clocks have been turned back an hour and autumn is evident all around us, but it’s still in the low twenties by day, although there is a noticeable chill once the sun has set. With a little persuasion the Posted by Hawkson in Blissful Adventures | Oct 26, 2009
  • Bonjour madame Sunday 18 October We arrive at around 7.30 to the hotel. We check in, and then venture out for the day. We head into the city of Paris by the train. We arrive at The Metro and a train magically appears. Posted by Blue Teddy in Blue Teddy and the 14 pillows | Oct 25, 2009
  • Two Weeks in Languedoc .... Two weeks in Languedoc - Not … “A Year in Provence.” Dorothy, our SatNav senorita, put on a French accent once we had crossed the Pyrenees to pick up a car from Mr. Hertz in Perpignan. We gav Posted by Hawkson in Blissful Adventures | Oct 24, 2009
  • In My Back Pocket Two weeks ago something funny happened. I had my wallet out to scan my navigo pass to get onto the metro and after I had scanned it, I slipped my wallet into my back pocket. It may not seem strange Posted by harcegnt in An American In Paris | Oct 23, 2009
  • Nothing Like The United States I had heard all the horror stories of these French Doctors. "They are creepy" "They take your temperature the old fashioned way". But, I didn't care; I couldn't care. I had reached the end of the rope. I couldn't Posted by harcegnt in An American In Paris | Oct 22, 2009

  • Smells Like Lemon Yes, I am still sick. It has been a few days now and it seems to get better during the day but then at night it is pretty bad. I wake up about every 2-3 hours. The mornings are the Posted by harcegnt in An American In Paris | Oct 21, 2009
  • 6: Old World meets New World We drove back to Toulouse that night, for a late (by American standards) dinner. The next couple of days, I slept late (still not having adjusted to the time difference, which is apparently more brutal in this direction).
