We arrived in Biarritz, France on Sept. 22nd, and spent several days with Rays Mom, Angele, his brother Claude, and wife, Ginette. Here I am with the three of them in San Sebastian, Spain, just over the border.  And in the 2nd photo , we see the coastline of Biarritz with famous lighthouse.
Below are two shots of the famous Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain. Very post modern bizarre. We visited Bilbao with Craig and Ev. The art inside was cool too.

My Brother , Craig, and mom, Evelyn joined us on the 26th and spent another several days touring around with us. Below, we are all at dinner together in our rented Biarritz house. Craig is on the left and Ev is at the far end of the table. We also have Ginette, Angele,  Ray, Claude, and yours truly on the right. We had a local chef come and prepare a wonderful dinner for us all. What a treat!

Hello Friends! This is my new blog, inspired by my brother, Craig. He's had a blog for ages. I didn't know how easy it would be to set up.

Ray and I  live in Two places... Summer months are on a lake. This photo was taken yesterday morning, (October 27th, 2012) of our yard and woods . Amazing colors all around!

Our Winter abode is in a New Hampshire  town. We just moved this weekend to our  house in town, where we will be until sometime in May.

This is meant to be a travel blog to help us keep track of our trips over time. We love to travel together and our goal is to see as much of the world as we can manage, and approach it different ways. Before this blog existed, we had some pretty amazing travel adventures. A few of the highlights were South Africa in March of 2012 ( Singita game reserve in Kruger National Park, Johannasburg, Capetown and the wine country), India  in March of 2011( an amazing journey through Northern India.... Deli, Jaipur, Odiappur and Veranassi and the ganges River), South America with the kids for Christmas and New Years  of 2008/ 09. Paris with the kids Thanksgiving of 2009.

Did I mention Ray is a brilliant photographer, and I'm hoping he'll share some of that with us along the way.
