Welcome to.....

 

Roaming Thru Europe

 

the blog written by an American baby-boomer

 

and dedicated to

 

American baby-boomers, in general and women, in particular

 
who have decided to take a moment or two to smell the roses -  while travelling in Europe.  

 

During each slow travel, soft adventure, self-drive tour, I will focus on a specific area or region in one of the countries that I love most: Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland.
 
I will roam ‘off the beaten path’…

• following twisty country roads
• visiting small towns and villages in the countryside
• eating (and drinking!!)  wherever and whenever the mood dictates from beer gardens to local pubs and watering holes, to small, inexpensive, locally-recommended eateries as well as highly recommended gourmet restaurants
• staying in small family-owned hotels and pensions, as well as in romantic hideaways
• visiting fairy-tale castles and palaces as well as museums and other cultural, religious and historic sites
• attending classical concerts in former monasteries and cloisters as well as rock concerts in Roman ruins and in the open air
• 'sampling' the wares at beer and wine fests 
• meeting, socializing and 'generally' interacting with the locals
• having my morning coffee in little cafes and an early evening repast in outdoor cafes
• traipsing through vineyards (while stopping to sample the local product) and meandering along river paths
• watching romantic sunrises and sunsets.

In sum,  I will be doing all of the things that 'we' (babyboomers and women) have ever dreamed of or fantasized about!!!

And through it all, I will be tweeting, blogging and writing about what I am doing, seeing and feeling.
