This past weekend Mar and I had the incredible pleasure of spending a few days and nights in Paris...what a city! And what wonderful people! I'm sure it helped that Mar is fluent in French, so we were able to easily slip into the culture, but even so it was just a wonderful city to experience.
Despite the chill of cold weather, we tromped all over the city, finding it actually very easy to get around. Snacking on yummy crepes, meeting wonderfully friendly people, and seeing all of the famous sights w...

I almost don't believe it as I say this, but it's true: Mar and I have internet access at our London flat! This is a stupendous occasion, and much to our delight, it is free and wireless. And we have Thames Online to thank for it!

Well with Mar's wonderful family visiting this week, we have been reminded just how beautiful our views are from our London flat. And not only are they beautiful views, but they're always a little different. We also have two very distinct views: our front balcony, off of our living room and kitchen, looks directly down on the Thames River, with Canary Wharf just on the other side. Our back balcony, off of our bedroom, gives a distant view of the city center, complete with views of the London Eye, Tower Bridge,...
