Visited Bear Santuary, waterfalls, weaving, paper making and wood carving center, then on to a couple of temples, and a short trip to see the sun on the Mekong. It was a fantastic day, but I feel every one of my years right now. I loved seeing the weaver and the explanation of making silk. […]
This is a dream fulfilled, and everything I imagined it could be. The pace relaxed, time to hear our guide, Paan’s stories, and lots of time to quiz her on Laos, Buddhism, the plants and animals around us, and so much more. She was a patient listener and teacher. I cannot wait to write up […]
We left Thailand for our journey up the Mekong River, into Laos. It will be two days of cruising to reach Luang Prabang. Larry, the food picture is for you. It was delicious!
For all my fellow cat lovers, the cats are allowed out of the cage to roam. The friendly cats wear collar so you know which ones to pet. We saw many rolling in the dirt and chasing each other up trees.

Second cooking class today, and introduction to many new ingredients. We started in Ps garden where we got to see many growing. See how many you know.

We arrived in Aigues-Mortes on a Votive Festival, the town partied. Julianna, Timothy and I walked the town, only to find out large portions of it were roped off for the running of the bulls. We waited around for about a half hour, got bored and went to find lunch. We were back on the […]
Our first glimpses of the Camargue horses!
Breakfast in Toulouse Working to reeducate myself on how to use my website. This was breakfast at the Toulouse train station after our trans-Atlantic flight. French food cannot be beaten.
