Would love to see Monet's garden and house, and the blue window really is perfection!! I take pictures to preserve memories -- and often write a brief journal, especially if I won't be able to blog about whatever it is for a while. I kept more detailed travel journals when we traveled pre-blog ... and I'm so glad I did. I enjoy looking at them once in a while now and I figure some day when we're too old to travel and have adventures, I'll sit in my rocking chair and look at all of them again!

Love the pictures so much and your personal take on the things you saw on your travels makes it all very interesting. I loved the little window with the blue frilly gingham curtains....lots of people just wouldn't have noticed that sweet detail! Thank you for the glimpses of Monet's garden too...someday I will go there!<br />Helen xoxHelen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-8773337439855724402017-07-16T09:02:46.146-07:002017-07-16T09:02:46.146-07:00Wow!

We have never done a river cruise.<br />Our Mediterranean Cruise a few years ago is definitely at the top of our list of trips we've made and we love to tell people about it. Like you, I loved the old doors and windows with shutters and flowers ... so much history. I loved Greece with all the buildings painted white, with blue shutters and seaside patio seating ... sigh...<br />Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-48067941820358324102017-07-14T17:43:40.489-07:002017-07-14T17:43:40.489-07:00The blue gingham and beautiful shutters are a deli...The blue gingham and beautiful shutters are a delight. What a joy to have the ability with technology to go back and revisit such a great trip.

Sometimes I just like to close my eyes and remember a walk through a garden, such as Monet's, or down a narrow street late at night. Oh I would have wanted to buy that house too.

So much happens in a year's time . . . and yet, it seems to have gone quickly. <br /><br />A cruise up the Seine seems a lovely way to spend some of your vacation time. I tend to like things that are slow and meandering. Such beautiful scenes you enjoyed! (And beautiful food too!)

Buying a house like that in France is like the idea of my husband and I to buy a castle in Italy, not reasonable but a wonderful dream. :)<br />What makes a vacation memorable?

We are so fortunate that we can take as many photos as we want and are not limited at all as we were with film.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-74787796118465800752017-07-14T08:49:04.046-07:002017-07-14T08:49:04.046-07:00What a coincidence Lorrie!

The green window of Monet's house is so charming <3 As are the rest of your photos.
