http://onstotts.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. Dear Family and Friends,. St Paul de Vence. This time, we decided to try something a little different. At the last moment, we booked a hotel near the quiet hill-town of St. Paul de Vence in mountains above Nice so that we could spread the driving out between Saturday and Sunday. St Paul de Vence. We very much enjoyed our stay in St Paul and look forward to returning to the hotel so that Joe can get his tour in a supercar! Anyone care to join us? Sunday, February 19, 2012. Joe b...

Cars range from the late twenties to the mid-seventies and are raced in Series from A to G. Later in the evening, we walked up to th...

http://onstotts.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. Kayaking in the Calanques. Dear Family and Friends,. Swells in the Mediterranean. Nicolas took the front seat and did a very good job rowing, even when the seas were rough. The week he spent doing water sports at scout camp the prior week really helped build his confidence. Friends Matt and Weston did a good job exploring all of the crevices in the rocks. They also found a nice cliff off which to jump. Joe, Julie, Nicolas, Elyse, and Nathaniel. Saturday, July 9, 2011. Trip to the US.

The Onstotts: Ireland 2012
http://onstotts.blogspot.com/2012/08/ireland-2012.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. Dear Family and Friends,. The next morning, we began the drive to our holiday house in Ballinskelligs in the south-western tip of the country. Along the way, Joe got distracted and had to stop at Lismore Castle and at a trout stream. However, the favorite stop was at the grocery store where we found all kinds of food not found in markets in France! On the third day, the weather improved enough for Julie and Elyse to go horseback riding at Rossbeigh beach. After putting on the...

Sunday, July 15, 2012. Fourth of July 2012. Dear Tout le Monde,. Kandersteg, Switzerland (CH). Cheese-making in the Swiss Alpes. Since we passed the Fourth passed without too much fanfare, we decided instead to celebrate Bastille Day on the 14th of July. Bastille Day celebrates the end of the monarchy and the beginning of democracy in France by remembering the storming of the prison in Paris. To the French, it is equivalent to the Fourth and is celebrated in much the same way. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, August 21, 2011. Dear Family and Friends,. Our first stop was the Chateau of Villandry. Known for its gardens, we skipped the interior and started touring the grounds. Julie spent her time trying to discover what each plant, vegetable, and fruit was while the kids raced through the labarynth of hedges and paths. They also had a nice hedge maze, though there were many small tunnels that made it easy too easy to cheat. Our drive to Chambord took us along the banks of the Liore river and through man...

Sunday, June 3, 2012. Dear Family and Friends,. We just returned from another adventure in Greece! Despite all of the economic problems there, it's still an amazing place to visit.

Saturday, February 23, 2013. Dear Family and Friends,. A couple of months ago, we had purchased tickets to go to Turkey as a couple. When our plans didn't work out and we had to postpone our trip, we decided to bring the kids along with us despite some of the unknowns of going to a new continent and region. Selcuk - Ancient baths (lower left) and Roman Corinthian capital on sidewalk (upper left). Basilica of St. John. Mosque within the Walls of Ottoman Fortress (photo taken from ramparts).
