ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our European nomadic adventure continues south of Barcelona with visits to three different and noteworthy monasteries. We followed up the monasteries with a few days in the lovely beach town of Sitges that we had heard about many times.
Neither Mike nor I had ever visited Barcelona before so we figured we would try to see as much as we could in the week we were there. But we also made time to wander in many interesting neighborhoods.
Our roving retirement has finally gotten back on track in Barcelona Spain. We spent a wonderful week absorbing Barcelona, a city that neither of us has been to before.
Food is one of the great joys of travel and our roving retirement. In Nice, the food is primarily a mélange of French, Italian, and Nicoise styles, with a generous sprinkling of foreign cuisines.
Just before the latest lockdown in Nice, we had the opportunity to see a rehearsal in the beautiful Nice Opera House. I vividly remember our tour of the Paris Opera House, with its Chagall ceiling, and we didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to see the inside of the Opera House in Nice.
