Day Sailing the Dalmatian Islands

I’m on a road trip along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast and after two days of being (mostly) good while we drove and walked around old towns, I was finally rewarded with a day sailing trip to the Dalmatian Islands. If you’ve been following along on my travels, you know that I love to swim. My mom …

No Dogs Allowed in the City of Popes

Avignon is just a short drive away from our base in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence so we decided to go check out the ancient, fortified city. As soon as we arrived and started our stroll from the parking garage down the Rue de la Republique, the city’s main central boulevard, we came to a park with a No …

A Sea of Lavender at Abbey de Senanque

My mom was convinced that we would definitely find lavender fields at the Abbey de Senanque, just outside the village of Gordes. And she was right! We wound down a narrow road, hugging the rocky ridge toward the Abbey on Les Routes de Lavande. Abbey de Senanque was founded in 1148 by Cistercian monks. They …

Dog Day at the L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Market

There is a lot to sniff at the famous Sunday L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue market! Baguettes are stacked up and leave crusty crumbs for me to lick up. A man in an apron sliced up huge wheels of cheese while trying to explain the various types of Provençal salami to my mom. She bought some Comté cheese, wild …
