This movie is from Villablino in northern Spain. The area is supplied with spring water, and many locals drink it instead of the the tap water. This is the same water, just not treated by the city with chlorine.
When we visited my parents Tom and Libby in Villablino this spring, we went with them to [...]
One perquisite of traveling with a Canon SD400 Digital Elph-besides that fact that it is a very lightweight digital camera-is that one is able to take short films with it. On our recent trip around Europe, we found this out by accident when taking some pictures and hitting the wrong button on the back of [...]
Our last stop in Europe was the capital of Spain.
Stop in beautiful Villablino-Leon, Spain, for rest and relaxation (and to hang out with my parents).
Our train from Barcelona to Alicante was tight, crowded, and late. So, unfortunately we weren’t in a great mood when we reached the bright city on Spain’s Costa Blanca. This stretch of Mediterranean coastline is lined with beautiful beaches and picturesque towns. As much as we were looking forward to the water, sand, and sun, [...]
Known for soccer, modernist architecture, and staunch cultural autonomy, Barcelona is an amazing city in northeast Spain. We only had one day to explore it, which is not nearly enough. We started our day on Sunday at the Museu Picasso. Housed in a beautiful old building, the museum traces the artist’s development from his earliest [...]
Our last day in Aix was Saturday. We left late enough in the morning that we were able to shop at the farmer’s market downtown. The whole plaza is filled with fresh fruit and vegetable vendors, flowers, wine, cheese, etc. Across from the food stalls are bric à brac vendors selling everything from antique books [...]
For Thursday and Friday in Aix, our plan was to do…not much. Thursday we slept in, and worked for a bit online since we had a nice wireless connection available. For the afternoon, we planned a hike to nearby Mont Ste-Victoire. Made famous by Paul Cézanne, the mountain offers splendid views of the area around [...]
Another beautiful day in Provence! We left Avignon around 10 AM, and hopped on the TGV for the 15 minute ride to Aix-en-Provence. It’s really weird taking a high speed train for such a short distance (about 90 km), but it’s the cheapest (and fastest!) option.
Once in Aix we lunched at an outside table [...]
Today dawned sunny and beautiful, a nice change from yesterday’s soaking rain. We set out to explore the beautiful city of Avignon.
Avignon is an old city located on the Rhône river in southern France, inhabited since Neolithic times. It was once a Roman city and then an important trading center when the border of [...]
