Rome is too overwhelming to be consumed in only a few days. It would take weeks to appreciate the breadth and depth of the city. For two days we stayed around the Vatican City.
A side trip from Florence, Italy took “The Golden Girls” to the villages of Cinque Terre where colorful architecture and amazing views are straight out of the tour books.
Revisit the seaside towns of Port Vendres and Collioure, France with me and my North Carolina friends. You may want to put these two on your “must-see” list! When “The Golden Girls” discovered Port Vendres and Collioure, the quaint towns along the Mediterranean, it was quite by accident. […]

Nimes, Pont du Gard, Avignon
There’s another dimension to the experience.
Fête de la musique à Uzès
French opera, performed live in New York, broadcast live at a cinema in Uzes — with French subtitles.

Lyon, France is famous for its bouchon restaurants. In the States we might call the fare “home cooking.”
Family is visiting Uzès. Nothing could make me happier than to show him the sights and to introduce him to my new friends.
The last few days in Uzes have not been a lot of fun. The area is being hit by torrential rain and there has been flooding in many towns and villages.
L’isle Sur la Sorgue is now one of my “best favorite places”to visit and to show off to guests who want to wander through Provence
Just tell me there’s a bullfight close to Uzes and I’m there. As usual, there’s always a party going on that makes the corrida even more fun.
Sete, France on a weekend in the summer is more than a bar scene. It’s a multi-cultural extravaganza.
I got up close and personal with the Bad Girls of London while they literally “took over” two bistros in Sete.
Here are some of the sights that are typical — and some not so likely — this time of year. The scene: the center of the village — the Place des Herbes.
