Sara, I just came across your Paris blogs and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed them. We were in Paris in June of 2006 and it was extremely hot then too. We went back in September 2009 and the temperature was much more comfortable. Getting sick…

We are excited to be part of the developing Untours Cafe. I (Sara) will be doing most of the posting here since Christopher pretends to be a card-carrying member of the Luddite society (look it up!). We live in Southern California and are retired from teaching high school (C.) and secretarial work for the California State University (me). Our Paris 2001 Untours trip was our first overseas adventure together and we look forward to future adventures "across the pond" -- we currently have the British Isles in our sights.

A Visit to Oak Glen, California

I've seen one or two non-Untours travel posts here; hope it's okay to share a little trip to Oak Glen with everyone. If not, I'm sure someone will let me know! Sara


This is just a little tale of an adventure that is all about the
apples......Taking advantage of a temporary lull in our hot weather,
this morning CT and I decide to celebrate the coolness with a visit to
apple country - Oak Glen, California.

Paris 2001 - Part 2

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20 - DAY TWO (Cont'd)

The apartment is cozy,
just the right size for two people. The living/dining area is to the
left of the entryway, the small kitchen is straight ahead, and the
bedroom and bath are to the right. Across the far end of the
living/dining area are floor-to-ceiling windows behind dark red drapes,
pulled back to allow a view of the massive white brick wall of the
building across the courtyard. Above the wall can be seen rooftops of
buildings further in th… Continue

Ciao Sara e Christopher! What a welcome message, and thanks for looking at my travelsketches. They make terrific presents for family & close friends! But, most of all I just "lose myself" in the drawing and coloring --- good therapy for a twitchy, ADD Type A like me! I have sent back a "friends" request, and will read your Paris reports with great interest. Sally and I have good Parisian friends, who of course take us to brasseries & cafe's known only to locals. We get so much enjoyment out of the small Left Bank galleries, the astounding Musée d'Orsay, the Jeu de Paume etc. etc. Have you stayed on l'Isle St. Louis ? It will be fun to compare notes & I hope you will put up photos along with your blogs. --- Bob

Welcome Sara and Christopher! I received your friend request and accepted it. Thanks for the invitation. We just went to Paris this summer for the first time. Loved it! Haven't really started to label my 1,000s of photos yet. That's always the fun part.
Want to read your blogs about Paris. Haven't had a chance yet, we were having our last camping trip of the year.
Recommend Swiss Oberland and the Bartlome apartment. Susi is a really great host and her apartment is adorable. Very convenient location in Gwatt near Thun to getting to anywhere. I have a triplog on the untours.com site that I posted in 2004. It's in the older triplog section. I've been wanting to redo it for the cafe but haven't had time yet.
It will be good communicating with you. We Californians have a lot in common.
