WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Flat Rentals: Paris


 The photo above is taken from the window of our flat which we rented 1/2 block from the Louvre in Paris. We have also rented a flat near the Eiffel Tower. The former one was rented through GlamAParis and the latter through Air Band B.  The former was, in every way, better than the latter. 

This small grocery store was where we went for food to stock our kitchen. Bread is purchased at the bakery and fruit from the fruit market and meat from the meat market -- but everything else from these small markets.

The eggs were fresh free range and hard to crack compared to our local eggs. Most everything else was the same. Well, just one thing more. Most rentals have things like salt and sugar and a few other things left in the kitchen. But, both flats were out of pepper. I need pepper on my eggs. We could not find black pepper, so we purchased white pepper at both locations. We brought it home to California as it seemed like something different. Ran out of black pepper at home and hit the French White just the other day. Reminds me of Paris.
