On the Road Again: 2011. Our 2011 trip through Istanbul, Greece, France and home via the USA. Remember, you can click on each picture to enlarge it. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Portland and onwards: the adventure ends. Rather than deal with the visit chronologically I might show some aspects of Portland and then the family we had come so far to visit. The street from our place to our son’s and back became very familiar. We found the constant traffic lights that changed to green just ahead of the ca...A few o...

http://lynnbooth.blogspot.com/2008/08/to-boston-and-beyond.html
Lynnbooth Travel Blog 2008 Hong Kong, France to the USA. Friday, August 22, 2008. To Boston and Beyond. Into America, friends and family. Coast houses and lobster floats. The evening in Rockport was spent walking up Bearskin Neck and photographing the harbour, then eating on the patio of a pretty restaurant at the end of the point, My Place by the Sea. We did protest though, when they offered duck breast; too much, too often, in France! We were in Boston to celebrate the first wedding anniversary of our ...

Lynnbooth Travel Blog 2008 Hong Kong, France to the USA. Friday, August 22, 2008. The end is nigh; almost home. A few more American States: Washington and Hawaii. We took a side trip to Mt St Helens, Mt Rainier and Seattle during the week in Portland. The travel up in the Mustang was smooth and the drive through the National Monument parks was lovely, with timber of pine and spruce, river beds carved by massive spring floods carrying loads of white stones and pretty waterfalls. Alexander's B&B Mt Rainier.

Lynnbooth Travel Blog 2008 Hong Kong, France to the USA. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. L'Isle sur la Sorgue to Moustiers St Marie to Menton. The route from L'Isle took us close to Silvacane Abbey, another Cistercian Abbey. It was most peaceful with a simplicity that invokes reverence. Well in the cloister garden. La Bastide de Paradou. The chapel and star up high. A pretty place, full of tourist shops selling the local china called faience, cafes selling ice cream and artists selling their paintings. A...

Lynnbooth Travel Blog 2008 Hong Kong, France to the USA. Sunday, August 10, 2008. Pauillac to St Emillion to Sarlat la Caneda. We passed on breakfast at Cordeillan-Bages, though it looked lovely, set up in an open, stylishly decorated section of the hotel. A bit too much of a good thing! We settled for OJ from the fridge in the room. The powder magazine at Fort Medoc. Bell tower built over monolithic church. Heading towards Sarlat we stopped at Montcaret where a huge Roman villa has been partially uncove...

Paris; Ahh, Paris! 5 The last few days. For me, the view from behind is also lovely, with the spires in contrast with each other and the flying buttresses evident. The green square of John XXIII is always quite peaceful. This time they had a tent and telescopes set up as there are falcons nesting near the north rose window....Then to I...

The road to the hotel was neatly edged around the lava flow. View from our window. Flags and clothes in a cave in the rock. No idea how people get there. An entry painting and one on the terrace give some idea of the brilliance. Icon in the entry passage. View of Kalambaka from the terrace. Hotel door and lobby.

Our room and terrace on the water. The mill wheel, for grain and olives. There was not enough water for it to work while we were there. Chicken crumble and rolled, poached. Which congnac for madame, monsieur? But the sea has receded and the need for the fort diminished with Vauban’s later chain of fortifications. More recentl...We also...

On the Road Again: 2011. Our 2011 trip through Istanbul, Greece, France and home via the USA. Remember, you can click on each picture to enlarge it. Saturday, July 9, 2011. Zurich: The last of Europe. We derived some amusement from signs in the trams, especially the one about destroying the seats. The trams themselves were very modern and roomy, with articulated carriages and frequent arrivals. Zurich from the bridge at the lake front, Fraumunster and St Peters to the left, Grossmunster to the right.

Lynnbooth Travel Blog 2008 Hong Kong, France to the USA. Sunday, August 10, 2008. From St Cirq to Provence. Mont Dore, Puy en Velay, Millau Viaduct to L'Isle sur la Sorgue. We were booked into a very staid and traditional hotel in Mont Dore. We rejected the room on the third floor, only access via three circular staircases and settled for a smaller one on the first floor, age, arthritis and weight of luggage being important factors. Storm clouds behind La Grande Hotel Mont Dore. The mast on Puy le Dome.
