Motoring around Ontario...

The bulk of our summer was spent motoring around Ontario. Using Peterborough as our home base, we tried to spend as much time as we could with Rebecca (in either Ottawa or Peterborough). Additional highlights included Kincardine, Toronto (especially Steffi's birthday party, watching the Blue Jays play at the Rogers Centre, and enjoying martinis at the Royal York), Sudbury (heavenly Sudbury) and visiting family and friends.

Perfect Paris...

After five glorious days in London, we spent another five wonderful days in Paris. The two cities are so different and both are so fabulous. Highlights included: Notre Dame and St. Chapelle cathedrals, the Louvre, our downtown loft apartment, cycling at Versailles and lots of incredible food and wine. Who does cuisine better than the French? Oooh la la.

London lay-over

This is a very belated post, but in June we spent five glorious days in London visiting Fausta, Jonathan and Nadia, and surveying the sites of England's capital. Highlights included: the Tower of London, the Dr. Who Experience (awesome!!), a day with our friend Emily, the Globe Theatre, the British Museum, double-decker buses, shopping at Primark (this was NOT a highlight for Brian), a sacred service at Westminster Abbey, and enjoying as much fish and chips as we could manage. Oh, and ale... lots and lots of delicious ale.

Updates Coming Soon!

Oh my goodness, the summer melted away and here we are, back in the swing of the 2011/12 school year. We have photos to share from the summer (including our 10-day trip to London and Paris and our adventures in Ontario) and from our return to Kenya. It is good to be back in some semblance of a routine and we have settled into our new home in Loresho (a suburb in Nairobi). We have a lovely 4-bedroom bungalow with a big yard and a working fireplace (lovely during these chilly "winter" evenings in Nairobi) and I promise to post photos really, really soon. :)
