Ahhh, Pamplona. Home of the running of the bulls (fortunately not while I was there) and one of the early stops on the Camino de Santiago (Way of St James). I had beautiful weather for exploring the city and found it really easy to navigate. I particularly enjoyed the walled fort – in the green […]
The Camino de Santiago
Today I found myself driving the path of the Camino de Santiago. Very cool!
Odd and Sods From The South of France
Odds and ends from my time in the south of France 🙂
Exploring Carcassonne, France
“Under the ruins of a walled city, crumbling towers and beams of yellow light” Sting’s lyrics were in my head on repeat as I explored the walled city ruins of medieval Carcassone. I took a train from Alet les Bains (for a euro!) through the vineyards of the Languedoc wine region and had fun exploring […]
The Village of Alet Les Bains
I camped for two nights in the medieval village of Alet les Bains, about 30km outside of Carcassone, in the foothills of the French Pyrenees. I’m so glad I did – it was one of the most pleasant camps of my trip and the town itself incredibly friendly, not to mention unbelievably old. There were […]
Avignon, France
And here’s the photo set for my favorite photos taken at the Palace of Popes. Enjoy!
Exploring Avignon, France

I did, however have a pleasant afternoon touring the Palace of Popes (the Holy See was actually located here for the tenure of about a dozen popes between 700 and 800 years ago), walking the Pont D’Avignon, and wandering through the streets. Good […]
Getting Ready To Leave Zagreb
Woo! Dooby, the proprietor of Lobagola B&B (where I stayed in Zagreb, and where you should stay if you’re ever in Zagreb -fantastic place and Dooby is a most excellent host with great recommendations of things to see, eat, and do in the area!) sent me a couple of photos he took of me and […]
Odds and Sods From Italy
Here’s a handful of photos from Italy that just didn’t really fit in to the other photo sets. Enjoy!
Genoa, Italy
Italian drivers aside (and the crazy roads getting in and out of Genoa – I got lost both times), Genoa was beautiful, and it was pretty incredible seeing the Mediterranean. I took a couple of long walks along Genoa’s promenade, Corsa Italia and took in the views of the sea. Had a great time wandering […]
