We’re going to NOLA, and that’s no lie!
We’re about to leave on a weeklong trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. We’ll put together another daily photo essay about our adventures, like we did in Europe. If you’re in the mood for more of Stef and Dan in a new, wonderful place, then please check it out. You can…
Postscript ~ In the Waves
As you have seen, we had a great time in Europe. In so many ways, I loved that it felt like everything was accessible to me, a person of limited fitness and zero outdoor skills. To get whisked to the top of a mountain – magical! Of course, when you…

Day 39 ~ La Rive Droit
In great news, Daniel and I have both had negative COVID tests. We are very close to being cleared for masklessness, which is exciting, and we are just eager to put all COVID stuff behind us. So close. Today we wandered up the Left Bank to hit up some stuff…

Day 38 ~ License to Île
These first few days in Paris are all found days. We’d originally intended for a couple of days in the French countryside, which we decided to cancel to simplify our trip in response to COVID. So until tomorrow, everything we’ve done has been all time we wouldn’t have had in…
