We are Charlie and Carol aka CNC. We both have a travel and adventure bug. Since Retiring in 2012, we have visited Europe for 90 days and hiked 1000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. We are always looking to explore and discover new places. Our next big adventure is another 90 days in Europe.
Beautiful Sea Walk
Wednesday April 12, 2023 We slept in until after 0900 today. I looked at the map we got and between that and google maps was able to plot out a nice route along the cliffs by the sea just north of town. That is if part of the route is not private property. Google is […]
On to the Adriatic
Tuesday April 11, 2023 Last night, I was writing and practicing loading pictures to my iPad, when the new wireless keyboard, I had bought died. We soon discovered that the charging cable for the keyboard was left behind, so we were up later than usual looking for electronics stores in our next destination. This led […]
Rainy Easter Monday

A Day at the Beach

A French Lake

Our Own French Meal
