Will be gone for a long weekend to Paris! The City of Light!

The last time I was in Paris was last year in October together with Blondine. However, this picture above of Sacre Coeur in Montmartre was taken in May 2006 together with MadamE. This time I am going to the city of light with Bru.

So need to start packing tonight...

Welcome to my world! After years in the fast-paced tech world, I am now in my 50s and embracing a slower pace of life in the Dutch countryside.

Whether I am nurturing my garden, nesting at home, or exploring places locally and abroad, I am documenting it all. Come on in. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Walking is actually what I do best when travelling, I walk from one square to attraction to another, and it is no secret that I indulge in food, thus after sampling different types of local delicacies, it makes me feel good that those calories are going somewhere else other than to my (bulging) stomach and (flabby) arms.

I may not have covered every nook and cranny of Porto but I have discovered many places worthy to be seen and experienced. Below are some of the major places in Porto that you will encoun...
