A Taste of Barcelona

My recent return to France and tasting Barcelona was a walk through memory lane. Almost eight years ago, I stopped in Barcelona before beginning my new life in Uzès.

While passing through Barcelona this time, food was at the top of my list of to-dos. Of course!

Traveling with a Pet

Taking my newly adopted, eleven-year-old, five-kilo mini Yorkie Fannie to the US and back was quite a feat.

If you followed our adventures on BarefootBlogger on FaceBook or BarefootBlogger_FR on Instagram, you know Fannie had a great time in the Carolinas and Georgia, from the mountains to the sea.

Traveling internationally with a dog had its hurdles, which I’ll get into on a “Fannie’s Travels” post. Bottom line, I loved the challenge of having her along with me.
