Lunch in Cremona

Posted on August 30, 2019August 30, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

We left Omegna early this morning, around eight thirty. It was a pretty spot and a nice hotel and very nice people. My 5th grade English teacher told me never to use the word nice in writing. She was right. The one “unpleasant” thing about Omegna, and it really was not that unpleasant, was that…

Omegna

Posted on August 28, 2019August 28, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

I’ve been working with an Apple MacBook Pro since we first left for Europe in 2015. Except for a few minor incidents, it has been a reliable tool since I bought it. Primarily for processing photos. The screen is a bit small but it is very detailed and usable. With time my photography has changed,…

After three nights in Tain L’Hermitage, which will be covered in greater depth later, we have driven for an overnight in the city of Grenoble. Tomorrow morning we head towards the town of Omegna in Italy near the Swiss border. We booked a night at the Croce Bianca lakeside hotel. We decided to do the…

Dinner in Tain L’Hermitage

Posted on August 25, 2019August 26, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

If you read my last post from today you know that we had shit for dinner last night and lunch today. Seriously, we would have done better eating at McDonalds. The food was terrible. That is the correct usage of that word, not the way the Orange Mussolini uses that word. Tonight we were able…

A Stop in Tain L’Hermitage

Posted on August 25, 2019August 25, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

The journey so far has not been without its minor tribulations. We left Saint Pierre on Friday afternoon and drove to Angers about three hours away. After a night in Angers we drove a little over 6 hours to reach Tain L’Hermitage. A place we intended to stop in for two nights. When I originally…

Full Moon Incognito

Posted on August 16, 2019August 16, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

Last night was the full moon. I went to bed and noticed the moon over the bay. It was large, orange and very clear and sharp with the surface details beautifully displayed. The glow from the disk spread to the water below and the clouds above. It was quite beautiful. The reason you are not…

We’er Back, I hope

Posted on August 16, 2019August 16, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

Due to the vagaries of html coding, this internet genius could not figure out what was wrong with the site. It was not sending out emails for new posts. I worked on it for a week and I think I may have fixed it. Let’s see.  Look below for the Mariner’s Tale

A Mariner’s Tale

Posted on August 11, 2019August 15, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

I posted this a few days ago but the notifications did not go out because of unknown mystery glitches. I hope I have resolved them and you are seeing this. Fingers crossed. I’ve never once eaten canned spinach. I can’t even imagine what it would be like. But perhaps I should have tried it. It…

A Bit of Rain Shall Fall

Posted on August 7, 2019August 7, 2019 by smiriglio@gmail.com

Most of France is preparing for water restrictions due to an unusual drought this summer. In Brittany we have not had significant rain since May. Brittany lies on the west coast of France and is the primary target of the Gulf Stream that carries warm waters across the Atlantic. Those warm waters typically carry with…
