Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
It's amazing how much I don't remember when there isn't something to jog my memory. Although this was the first day that we had tickets for the World Equestrian Games, my traveling companion had no interest in going because it was the first of two days for the qualifying rounds. I don't care enough about... Continue Reading →
Unlike when I was in Paris, I was not quite ready to leave Saumur. It had snuggled its way into my heart. Alas, it was time for the next leg of the adventure! We finished our last breakfast at the B&B and headed off. I had really wanted to enter the castle of Saumur, but... Continue Reading →
When we woke up in the morning, I felt horrible. I had major cramps, I was incredibly sore from the ill-fitting tack from the two days prior, and it was raining. We were supposed to get up really early and go on a 4-hour trip with the ponies. I didn't want to go. I told... Continue Reading →

My traveling companion's (half) brother really wanted to go to the catacombs, so he invited me since my traveling companion did not want to go anywhere near that place. He wore his Walking Dead t-shirt, since it seemed remotely appropriate. My traveling companion's step-father also joined us. We arrived 45 minutes before opening, and there... Continue Reading →
Here's the deal: 6 horses 2 dogs 3 cats 35 chickens ... are our responsibility. Every. Day. It doesn't sound like much until you try to get away. So we rarely do. Together, at least. The last two trips taken in this household were done separately. I, to France and England. The husband, to Mexico... Continue Reading →
