6th Avenue Poulsbo home and garden

March to July, 2015 After 4 months in Poulsbo we have returned to Paris. The time in Poulsbo melted. We had no idea it would be so busy – our plans to keep up with people in Paris, continue French lessons, etc., faded in the rush to get everything done and see everyone we could. […]

Terrorist Attacks in Paris

January 13, 2015 by Hugh Nelson 18 Comments

We have received many inquiries from the US about whether we were OK after the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.

Vacation to the Dominican Republic

October 11, 2014 by Hugh Nelson 13 Comments

In September our French friends Cat and Jacques invited us to go on vacation with them. They were planning a trip to the Dominican Republic. Since we are in effect already on vacation in Paris, it didn’t seem like a good idea to me, but they told Brenda and me to think about it and […]

Trip to Barcelona

September 1, 2014 by Hugh Nelson 4 Comments

In early May we took a trip to Barcelona and spent three days exploring the town. Our Kitsap County friend Don Merry joined Brenda and I as part of a bigger European vacation Don had planned. This was a good deal for us because Don did most of the planning and research and passed on […]
