My daughter will be in Italy, Spain, and Greece this summer, so we may have some questions for you.<br /><br />@Funny--Mr FS schedules many wonderful museum visits--and we all trot after him. One day I will visit your beautiful state.<br /><br />@Duchesse--We are culture vultures, so want to see as much as possible. We also walk about 15 miles/day in Europe.<br /><br />@Shelley-I loved reading about your trip to Greece.

I do my scholarship in France, in Paris mostly--yes, I know!--and the positive upsiade is that I find myself unable to maintain the American focused mindset and tend to cafe, musee, a veritable flaneuse.

If we can dispense with the family house, I think you've described what we did on our last trip to Greece. I hate intense holidays, but when we visit the US, that's always what they are there are so many people to try to fit in and see.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-87912584807063689312011-03-28T09:07:50.106-05:002011-03-28T09:07:50.106-05:00Our vacations are always like that, we like to ren...Our vacations are always like that, we like to rent an apt. in a relatively nontourist neighbourhood and pretend we live there. Occasionally hotels, but always slowed right down.

I'm so happy for you. <br /><br />My vacations have always been like that, only at home, since I live in a resort area and need not travel anywhere. I've never been able to figure out what's appealing about the "intense" vacation, unless its purpose is to make you count your blessings when you get back home.Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-47912564996500320162011-03-27T11:38:43.153-05:002011-03-27T11:38:43.153-05:00Yes, I have, that's the kind of vacation I lov...Yes, I have, that's the kind of vacation I love (but then again, I am an assumed francophile ;) If you are staying in Paris for a while, I can recommend a moderately prized hotel near Arc de Triomphe, and as studio that we rented via Airbnb.
