FranceHi. It’s Dale and Mama. We are writing about some of the animals we’ve seen in France. In Paris, we saw a lot of pigeons. If a random lady puts food on your head near Notre Dame cathedral, you will have a pigeon chapeau! In Strasbourg, we went to Parc de l’Orangerie where there was a little zoo. We saw flamingos, spider monkeys, parrots, wallabies, and white Alsatian storks (les cigognes)Read more
FranceHave you ever been to an aquarium? Have you ever seen who’s hiding under the water? Well I have. Because today we biked to the Montpellier aquarium and it was AWESOME! We did a project in school about the aquarium and we each chose two different animals to learn about and find in the aquarium.we found Chloe’s arawana and arapaima my cape penguin and the tail of my pyjama shark and Malcolm’sRead more

We haven’t had a drop of rain since we arrived... I fear it is coming, especially when we biked under this last night on our way through La Comedie. Montpellier is ready!
(Actually, they are part of fundraising event for breast cancer research - I learned this when we walked by them today).
Inspiring!
This is so beautiful! We are going to Paris in May and I must add this place to our list....Tania
FranceDale and Lara finally got to a gallery walk on their last rainy Friday in Montpellier. We saw Yann Dumoget and his “peinture partagée” - Dale loved how you could recognize different places in his artwork (like the sea, a volcano, the desert), and then see how members of the public graffitied them. Then we went to the Musée d’art brut et d’art singulier (raw and outsider art) - it wasRead more
FranceI heard this (spoken sympathetically) three times last week, from locals... here’s why - Our first travel SIM card finally ran out. We had picked it up in the Reykjavík airport, so this time, Geoff figured the train station would be a place to start... this was followed by many subsequent visits to the provider “Bouygues” where we were told “this is not our product” (despite the companyRead more
FranceThis was our lunch stop. We loved the city center felt like Paris beside the sea. We took a quick look around and we were off.
FranceJust arrived in Montpellier. What a cool place this is. The hotel we are staying in is Grand Hotel De MIDI. It is really nice and handy. 5 minutes walk from the train station if you walk the right way around the block and real close to the city centre. The hotel staff thus far are really nice to and speak very good english. Acually one of the fellas is English. The weather is overcast at theRead more
FranceShortly after leaving the train i met Speedy and Caro. And so the journey begins!
FranceHem passejat pel centre de Montpellier, hem menjat croissants, hem dinat falafel amb amanida, hem begut una ampolla de vi, hem menjat formatge, hem anat a un bar amb swing en directe, bevem birra i hem sopat a un africà. La Zuzanna es mor del picant. Encara sort que s'està acostumant al picant, si no, estaria fent un drama total.

Fantastic Dale and Lara, I loved it. Love, Grandma
My dad and I are looking at your blog and having a good laugh, but we have a question did the pigeons poop on you Malcolm?
The poop question was by BLAKE and dad ( peter)
Sorry but the pigeons didn’t 💩 on me this time. The pigeons were getting on my nerves though. Malcolm
