Just Another Travel Day
Today was a travel day. Planes, trains and automobiles all played a part, once again. While not a necessarily exciting day, it was very productive. Some highlights: I had the most delicious Chausson aux Pommes (Apple Turnover) of my life. It was like eating a puffy...
Cannes You do the Cannes Cannes?
It is Jason's last day of tennis...in France. After the impressive storm yesterday, the courts really took a beating and they weren't sure if tennis was even going to happen. However, being used to living along the French Riviera, the club was prepared for this...
Lunch on the French Riviera
After my tennis today, Janelle and I are heading over to Nice for lunch at a very special restaurant. Le Plongeoir sits upon a couple of rocks on the Nice shoreline. Nestled in between Billionaire's yachts, people enjoying the beach and 20 year-olds cliff jumping,...
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...
