This is the last of my Mallorca posts. I’m already excited to write about all of the things that we’ve been doing since we got to Paziols: the kids are great, and we’ve already taken them on tons of walks around the area. But before I get ahead of myself: this ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/07/05/san-jordi-and-ses-salines/ Secret Beaches Part 4
Secret beach number four (and the final secret beach) is found in the Natural Park of Mondrago. I showed you two of these nifty little signs yesterday, but I didn’t really explain them. Basically, all beaches (even the unguarded ones) have a map like this showing you where you are and ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/07/03/secret-beaches-part-4/ Secret Beaches Part 3 I am leaving Mallorca today for Paziols, where I’ll be working with an old French tutor, who has started a French immersion program for her American students. I’m really looking forward to going back to Paziols and to seeing what is new and different with the program that we started, ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/07/02/secret-beaches-part-3/ Secret Beaches Part 2 Firstly: a map. The Canadian is indicating our approximate location, inland a few minutes. The beaches that I have been talking about today and yesterday are as close as possible to where we live, just next to that big blue thing. That’s the water. Secondly, as I promised: the second hidden ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/07/01/secret-beaches-part-2/ Secret Beaches Part 1 I have made an important decision about this blog. After reading the archives, it’s all starting to feel very haphazard. I barely understand it… and I lived it. I don’t know how you can be expected to understand it. So here we go. I’m starting over. My name is Emily (or Amélie, ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/06/29/secret-beaches-part-1/ Road Trip: Lancaster County, PA I have by now traveled through much of Western Europe, but I have seen comparatively very little of the US. I was born and raised in New York, and I’ve seen a lot of the Eastern seaboard. I went to high school in New England, and I lived for one ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/06/27/road-trip-lancaster-county-pa/ Llombards I have a hard time writing about the place where I am. The second I leave, it’s easy: I suddenly remember all the things I loved about being there, why it’s so special and so different from where I am now. But writing about the place where I am is a ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/06/23/llombards/ Paris Waits Isn’t it funny how sometimes memories, correlations, associations, don’t make sense to anyone but you? For the longest time, the Billy Joel song “Vienna” was inextricably and unexplainably linked to New York. I don’t know why, but now I know that I was wrong. “Vienna” still isn’t about Vienna—I loved the ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/06/19/paris-waits/ Naples When I visited Naples for the first time this year, I had never been to Southern Italy. I had been as far south as Rome, which, as any Southern Italian knows, is not south at all. My father’s family comes from Sicily, which is technically not Southern Italy either, but I ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/06/17/naples/ Eze   One of the top tourist destinations in the south of France is the principality of Monaco. As the legend goes, the first Grimaldi snuck into the city dressed as a monk in order to take it over, the Italian word for monk giving the state its name. Monaco is indeed ... http://Travelday.today.com/2008/06/14/eze/
