Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

Our House in Preggio, Italy


We are just back from 13 days in Umbria. We rented this house in the hills with friends and spent our time visiting a region of Italy little known to us. It had been 21 years since our last visit and much had changed. We flew from Bordeaux to Bologna on Ryan Air for only 7 euros! We had great food and wine. The weather was kind although there was fog most mornings. In the little town of Preggio there was a cafe which was a short walk uphill from the house and served a great morning cappuccino. All in all a good stay.
