http://bradcassie.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run. Our six month break from work and life in Victoria to 'live' in London and southern France. Friday, 31 August 2012. London goes high tech. We've seen a couple of great high-tech gadgets here in London. The first is a great combination garbage/recycle can and mini-billboard. The crystal clear screens on the sides of these cans show stock prices, headlines, weather reports, coming events and tube line updates. These towers were scattered thoughout the area. If you a...

Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run.: Religious experience
http://bradcassie.blogspot.com/2012/11/religious-experience.html
Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run. Our six month break from work and life in Victoria to 'live' in London and southern France. Monday, 26 November 2012. And now for the cultural aspects of Barcelona. 1) Religion of architecture. Here is a photo of the 'Passion' facade as we strolled up to the church through the adjacent park. With new work happening everyday, the latest statue installations are easy to see against the weathered, older parts of the church. Seeing the church, along with other Gaudi b...

Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run. Our six month break from work and life in Victoria to 'live' in London and southern France. Saturday, 29 September 2012. It's only wafer thin. Cassie food talking again. Food porn shots here, so skip if you're sensitive ;-). Best Calamari. Ever. It was so tender, it practically ripped as you picked it up with a fork. Sizzling hot as it hit our table, on a bed of pan-fried sui-choy, sitting in a radicchio cup. Which was filled with warm chocolate. Brad and I had th...

Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run.: A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum
http://bradcassie.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-funny-thing-happened-on-way-to-forum.html
Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run. Our six month break from work and life in Victoria to 'live' in London and southern France. Friday, 7 December 2012. A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum. Un petit blog post. Another little side trip, this time to Arles. This shot of one of the main entrances also has the tower reno down by those crazy medieval guys. Making your way through the town is quite easy - thanks to several types of visual guides laid out as a walking tour of the town. Simple te...

http://bradcassie.blogspot.com/2012/12/gators-and-gladiators-oh-my.html
Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run. Our six month break from work and life in Victoria to 'live' in London and southern France. Saturday, 1 December 2012. Gators and Gladiators Oh My! So out and about in our little Fiat (Brad getting in as much fast, zippy driving as he can) we cruised through the town of Vers. Small cute name, small cute town. But we did get a little turned around trying to get out of town. So yeah, they're not picking them up at Home Depot. And now the more educational history (bu...

Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run. Our six month break from work and life in Victoria to 'live' in London and southern France. Thursday, 13 December 2012. Lights, camera, Paris! We've decided to do some Christmas shopping in style - so we've come to Paris - because what sounds better than "oh, we're doing our Christmas shopping in Paris"? After missing this department store on our summer visit to this incredible city in July, we make a point of heading here this time. While being dazzled by the vie...

Brad and Cassie, the retirement dry run. Our six month break from work and life in Victoria to 'live' in London and southern France. Monday, 30 July 2012. Tour de France by Brad. Tour de France Sunday! After almost a week in Paris, we have been getting used to late mornings and late nights. However, Sunday morning we're up at 8; alarm required. Out of the apartment, down to the Metro. Oh look, not open until 10am. Okay, now we'll speed walk to the Champs Élysées to claim our spot! And then it happened.
