Review: Paris Dark City Secrets Walking Tour

Paris, France

It’s officially spooky season! So it’s time to talk about all things haunted and scary – and one of my favorite things to do this time of year is ghost tours! Okay, I’ll admit anytime of year is the right time of year for a ghost tour. It doesn’t take much to convince me to

A couple’s travel itinerary for Santa Fe

Rick and Stephanie at Gruet

Though it doesn’t seem possible that summer is coming to an end I suppose it’s true as we’ve celebrated the holiday that traditionally marks this time of year: Labor Day. For Labor Day this year, Rick and I opted for something a little closer to home yet still across the border and so that’s how
