Living the High Life in Monaco
After a morning of tennis playing (for Jason) and lounging around while doing more laundry (for Janelle), we grabbed a snack on our very own balcony before starting our adventure for the day. Life in the south of France certainly lends itself to living in the lap of...
Playing with the Locals
Day 1 in Beaulieu-ser-Mur and the Rosé Cup. Same format as the Sangria Cup tournament - a team of 4 playing doubles with a Super Set to 10 - each game won earns a point. The most points at the end of the 3 days wins! We all form our teams - 2 North Americans with two...
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Feels weird heading back to the airport, but today is a travel day to Beaulieu-sur-Mer - just outside of Nice. Not part of Nice like we originally thought. Nope. Completely different town. Not in the Nice region at all. Spoiler alert, this would have been good to know...
Last day and an Epic BBQ
The last day of tennis for me in Mallorca. It's been such an intensive journey this week, and at the same time the week flew by. We just had one final two-hour lesson before we would fully earn our official Rafa Diploma! Everyone had such a great time I'm sure we'll...
I Got to Play Tourist Today!
While Jason was learning even more tennis, (Seriously, how much can there really be to learn? LOL) I went off on another cycling adventure. 20km into my ride yesterday I came upon a museum/historical house that looked quite interesting. That was my destination this...
Can You Call us Athletes Yet??
It is starting to feel less like vacation and more like bootcamp! And we are LOVING every minute of it!! Jason and I are so committed (yes, committed!) to our sports that the touring and vacationing has definitely taken a back seat. With the mercury soaring to highs...
Oh Jameson…
It doesn't matter how good your sleep was, when you wake up to a text that looks like this: your heartrate sky rockets and your once restful self disappears. Apparently our dog, who is being looked after by our daughter, disagreed with being kept in his crate in a...
Red Clay
The early shift today with an 8:30 start. This means a bit of a reprieve from the late morning’s heat. Well, until the sun crests the nearby roof anyways. Today was all about the volley. Volleys near the net, volleys from the service line and volleys...
Tennis!!! Cycling!!! It’s a Good Life.
Janelle's Day: You know when you have a perfect day and you just can't help but smile? That was my day today. I got on my bike - my road bike - and rode. Wow. Talk about the right tool for the job. The plan was to follow the Via Verde from Manacor to Arta, a mere 29km...
