Located 1 hr. 45 mins. by train from Paris, Troyes, France is another wonderful city to visit. It’s also filled with half-timber architecture.
Local fishermen…
I believe every city had a carousel…
p.s. In case you’ve just began reading…I planned an 11 week, 5 European country, 21 accommodations solo trip from April – June of 2022. Photos were taken with my LG Velvet Android phone.
I had visited Paris for one night back in the late 70’s when I was in the military and once more for a week when I took my niece in 2007. It hadn’t changed much, other than the metros seemed a little seedier, but I had changed a lot. I purchased a 7-day Navigo pass (you need to have a passport photo for it) that covered all forms of transport within a certain area and is the best value for your money. I visited most of the main sites a tourist goes to…the Eiffel Tower
Sacre Coeur
The Louvre Museum
Don’t remember the name of this bridge
Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel
I had to try the croque monsieur (a hot ham and cheese sandwich)
The rue Crémieux, know as the most colorful street in Paris
The expressions of the people are interesting…
I forget where I was when I took this photo
Luxembourg Gardens should definitely be on your list of places to visit!
This was my favorite French meal, but I can’t remember the name of it. It had fish and vegetables in it.

Lucca is only 80 minutes via train from Florence and makes a perfect place to visit as a day trip from Florence. I walked 7 miles exploring this beautiful city. I walked a portion of the 4 km completely preserved wall that surrounds the city.
More sidewalk cafes…
and Italian architecture…

While researching what I should see during my 8 night stay in Florence in April of this year, The Boboli Gardens which date back to 1766, was a place I wanted to experience. It’s filled with beautiful vistas, cool sculptures, and a peaceful vibe.
I asked this young man if I could photograph him…he looked so Italian and handsome.
The light filtering through the trees caught my eye.

Located just 30 minutes via train from Spoleto, Italy, Assisi was one of my favorite cities, along with San Gimignano, Siena, Florence, Spello, and Orvieto.
Although I walked over 400 miles in 11 weeks of traveling, I didn’t lose any weight 🙂
The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Assisi.
This is where Saint Francis was born and died. It is a Papal minor basilica and one of the most important places of Christian pilgrimage in Italy.
There’s something about ferris wheels.
Just beautiful!
Another gorgeous view and delicious Italian wine.

Kilkenny’s rich medieval heritage is evident in the city’s treasure trove of historical buildings and landmarks, especially the magnificent Kilkenny Castle. Kilkenny is Ireland’s most beautiful medieval city. My day trip from Dublin through Collins Day Tours included this majestic city. I walked around the castle looking for a variety of perspectives.
The back “yard” goes forever, with its lush and green manicured lawn!
Who doesn’t love fountains!
A couple of young lads enjoying the day! Nice to see them phone-less.
The city of Kilkenny through my eyes and lens…
2014 has been a year filled with photography and travel…Imagine that! Comparing my 2013 in Review: jogging, biking, hiking, and a bit of water skiing continued to keep my over 55-year-old body lookin’ good, along with lots of new recipes and mostly healthy eating!
This year became more balanced with less play and more work…which means more money…hallelujah! During the summer I worked part-time for a farm at their Fruit & Vegetable Stands (until my back couldn’t take it any more).
I’ve had over 20 photo shoots for my own business, “Sherry Lachelle Photography”…including baby photos…
A few of the Senior photos…
The evening that our cruise ship left Venice, there was a Masquerade Ball aka Bal Masque. It was fun to see all of the colorful and unusual masks!
Of course, Venice is famous for their masks…
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.” ~Jim Morrison
Here are some lovely girls!!
My mask was quite simple!
Another cutie!!
Don’t miss Rome tomorrow!!
