My husband works on the intricacies of trains, planes and rental automobiles to the nth degree, with a Google Earth matrix ready to get us around town.

We rent an apt and shop for fresh food at the little shops. We have certain cafes we frequent. Watching the French and being a part of the local color is better for us than dashing here and there to see the tourist traps. We typically spend a few weeks in Berlin, too. The smells of fresh bread baking wafting out onto the street as we walk by is a delight so are the smells of other German foods. We don't like to be rushed. We like to slowly insert ourselves into their culture.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-88654670049583944312017-07-01T10:09:06.637-04:002017-07-01T10:09:06.637-04:00We traveled to Montreal and Quebec years ago in a ...We traveled to Montreal and Quebec years ago in a motor home.

One of these days (after I sell a whole lot of books to finance the trip), I want to go to France. That's always been the top of my bucket list. I've been to Montreal (back in my youth), a very cool city! Enjoy your travels, Rolynn.Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047728297429025804noreply@blogger.com
