In spite of being quite busy and rather short in the vacation time category, the Missus and I managed to sneak away for a few days. We went to a place that had been on my "list" for a while and opportunity just seemed right for this trip.
It was a fantastic time……
Our first stop was in a wonderful city, multicultural, friendly, artistic, and just plain fun.
Our second stop was a beautiful and picturesque city….full of history.
And this mysterious "red door"………..
And then of course; there was the real reason….the food of course!
While the upscale/fine dining was indeed fantastic.
It was the local specialties that really blew us away.
Hearty comfort food at its best.
While it was rainy most of the time…..we were really here to relax; though we still managed to put in about ten miles a day walking.
There's a live and let live attitude here……which was a great escape from the angry, sometimes hate-filled, rhetoric that has been brewing recently.
After all, when your song comes on….you have to be like this guy, who dropped his grocery bags, and let loose.
"Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance"
Anyway, it's time for me to scoot and catch up on my rest.
Thanks for reading!
