A collection of posts from the 2023 trip to Europe with various friends. Locations include Barcelona, Cassis, Le Castellet, Marseille, and Paris.

Paris had phases on this trip. The regular group accompanied at first, then a former colleague from long ago. Explored new areas, revisited favorites. Stayed up too late, got up too early.

While not technically a stop, we had a few hours to spend while waiting for a train. I decided to rush up to the church at the top of the huge hill, because I love back sweat that much.

We took the car from Cassis to visit some vineyards in the Le Castellet area of Southeastern France. A pivotal point on the trip, as a friend got engaged here. Not pictured: That.

Second stop on the Europe trip. Flew from Barcelona to Marseille, took a rental car out to the countryside for a love mission.

First stop on a trip to Spain and France in July, 2023. Spent most days near the Gothic Quarter, stopping for small meals between small tasks. Perfect routine for an anxious American.

Well, there’s really not much more to explain. These are my favorite 100 photos of 2019, plain and simple.

Photos of Paris from my month-long stay in August 2019. Explored and photographed the outskirts of Paris, more so than the usual attractions.

Photos from a weekend road trip. A friend and I drove an aggravatingly high-tech German crossover through France to see Mont Saint-Michel, Monet’s gardens, and the French countryside.

Photographs from my visit to Krakow, Poland, including the Old Town architecture and countryside outskirts.

Photos from my trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, where I stayed for nine days but it didn't feel like enough.

Photos from my trip to Istanbul, Turkey to see Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Suleymaniye Mosque, and a few non-mosque things too.
