We Travel…
A note about our posts
Dear reader, you’ve noticed, we’re sure, that these posts are NOT always in order by the DATE of the JOURNEY. We have for some time been working on catching up with posts about past travels that had to be put aside for one reason or another. And, unfortunately, the WordPress platform does not allow me…
Cuatro Ciénegas, Coahuila, Mexico
June 9 – 12, 2025 We’ve been traveling in an odd ricochet pattern through northeastern Mexico during the summer of 2025, and even doing a bit of backtracking, in order to see everything that’s on our list. We don’t often get to this part of Mexico, which is generally off the well-traveled tourist trail, and…
Milan, Italy
July 27-31, 2018 We depart from Trieste for Milano, our final stop during this 2018 season on another fast Trenitalia Frecciarossa. It’s our favorite way to travel.

Bordeaux, France
October 1 – 6, 2024 It’s a gorgeous fall day as our train departs Perpignan and the balmy Mediterranean coast for the Atlantic city of Bordeaux. Pretty farms and small villages pass by our window, and they seem to suggest we should return someday to enjoy more of their fresh produce, savory cheeses, and outstanding…
Collioure, France
Sept 26-30, 2024 The narrow lanes, fine art, good food and student energy of Montpellier have kept us well entranced, and yet the time has come for us to depart. We’ll grab a last cup of strong coffee just inside the old stone city gate before we emerge onto the street and toss our bags…
Montpelier, France
Sept 20-25, 2024 Dolceacqua has been a sweet and picturesque little town, and well worth the restful almost-week we spent there. But now we’re off for a different experience. We’re heading to the ancient university city of Montpellier, in southern France. The rocky Ligurian coast of Northern Italy passes by our train windows, and…
