From Annecy, we need to head down south to the French Riviera – Menton so instead of going back via Italy (luckily we didn’t have to go through that expensive toll tunnel again), we chose the west route via Nice. When I was looking at the possible routes in Google Maps, I noticed that we’ll… Read More Lavender Fields of Provence
Itinerary for today: lavender, lavender, and lavender fields! That was the reason we came to Provence in the first place – lavender fields!

After Croatia, we headed to southern France just in time for lavender fields! Our flight was at 1:05 PM connecting at Munich (delayed again so our original 1.5 hours connection time was barely enough) and we landed in Marseille at 6 pm instead of 5:15 pm! My husband asked me what time do you expect… Read More Starry Night at Arles, France
My goal is to visit Europe once a year when the weather is warm and I can’t wait for this year’s trip especially after the infamous Boston winter where we broke the record of the snowiest winter ever! It’s still two more months to go and I really can’t wait to go. To release some… Read More Europe 2015 – Dubrovnik, lavenders, trulli, and Cinque Terre!
