paris....un homme

During my 9 hour self-guided walking tour through Paris I saw all the famous sites, but it was the hidden neighbourhoods, the old crumbly buildings on the cobblestone roads and the people going through their daily activities that interested me the most.

New York, New York....it's a wonderful town

Like many people before me and many people after, on my first visit to NYC I instantly fell in love. I was wooed by it's celebrity, caught up in it's pulsing energy and won over by it's diverse districts and that big beautiful park. Alas, it was only a weekend affair, but an affair to remember. Until I walk your streets again my memories and photos will have to do. I (heart) NYC.

denmark....the little cottage

Sometimes, in my dreams, I go back to this little cottage on the hill.

san francisco....into the clouds

I stood in awe of the bright orange bridge, the low clouds, blue water and rolling hills; they seemed as though they had been freshly painted on to a blank canvas that hung from the heavens. And then I stepped on to the famous landmark and became part of the amazing painting.

kathmandu....giggles

Small friends I made while on one of my walks through Kathmandu. The only english word they knew was "CHOCOLATE!"  Luckily, I always had some with me.

paris....what lies beneath

While trying to find the entrance to the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise in Paris, I kept looking through these cutouts in the wall trying to get a glimpse of what was inside.

the french riviera....cut into the mediterranean

I came across these stunning cliffs while on a small boat cruise around the south of France.  They looked as though they were sliding into the sea.  I wanted to slide into the sea too.

cote d'ivoire....the african queen

This lovely family strolled by me while I was on a beach in the Ivory Coast.  The little girl would twirl and giggle when her dress would float up.  She looked like a little princess.

welcome.

I started this blog to share some of the things I have seen while exploring this crazy little place called the world.
