Adios Girona

Adios Girona

November 7, 2009:

Well that’s it for our trip to Europe this year. Amsterdam and Girona were both great and Michelle and I agree that we may return at some point in the future. We are not looking forward to the flights so much, but Victoria is a [...]

Dali Day

Dali Day

November 6, 2009:

Today (Friday) was Salvador Dali discovery day for Michelle and I. The first stop on Dali day was the Dali Museum in Figueres, about a half-hour train trip north of Girona. As I think I may have mentioned in one of my Amsterdam blog posts, [...]

Last Bike Ride in Girona

Last Bike Ride in Girona

November 5, 2009:

Today was the last of our three days with the bike rentals. We’ll be hiking for the remainder of our days here in Girona. Thankfully, the sun was out again this morning, which made it easier for me to justify going out for a bike [...]

Journey to the Edge of the Med

Journey to the Edge of the Med

November 4, 2009:

A slightly less impressive day today in terms of weather, but we didn’t let that stop us from venturing out on the bikes towards Sant Feliu de Guixols on the Mediterranean. Getting to Sant Feliu de Guixols is pretty straightforward if you’re driving, and according [...]

Rolling in Girona

Rolling in Girona

November 3, 2009:

Where oh where has my Internet gone? Our current accommodation doesn’t have Internet access, and while it is not a necessity, it’s my opinion that it can certainly be useful while on vacation (weather, restaurants, bike rental information, bike/hike route planning, etc.) I think I [...]

Hola! We’re in Girona, Spain

Hola! We’re in Girona, Spain

November 2, 2009:

Saturday October 31 was a travel day from Amsterdam to Girona. The flight from Amsterdam to Barcelona took a little less than two hours and occurred at the crack of dawn, a wee bit too early we have decided. From the airport in Barcelona, which [...]

Bye Bye Amsterdam

Bye Bye Amsterdam

October 30, 2009:

Today was our last day here in Amsterdam. The week has gone by as all weeks seem to go: quickly. I think all of us feel like our time here has been well-spent, I know for sure that I do. Before I get too far [...]

Gear: Navigating on Our 2009 Europe Trip

Gear: Navigating on Our 2009 Europe Trip

October 30, 2009:

It’s our last day in Amsterdam and I thought I would throw together a quick equipment/gear posting. I really have not done much traveling in my adult life, so I am far from being an expert on navigation while in foreign places.
For our 2009 Europe [...]

Lost in the Barrens

Lost in the Barrens

October 29, 2009:

More university for Michelle and Lisa today and another bike ride for me. I’ll cut to the chase, I had another great bike ride, this one being the most ambitious of the three I have done here in the Netherlands.
I left the abode at about [...]

A Normal Fall Day in Amsterdam?

A Normal Fall Day in Amsterdam?

October 28, 2009:

I’m not sure, but I think we may have lucked out with the weather over the last couple days here in Amsterdam. Today especially, was sunny almost all day with almost no wind. Not the sort of weather I was expecting prior to our arrival.
Michelle [...]
