The isle of May is a little island from afar but once close and personal with these birds you can see the abundance of them. On the isle of may there are more or less a quarter of a million seabirds and 90 thousand puffins!!! When I was there Terns (a very protective seabird) dive-bombed us but, once past that the trails that led across the island led us to coves filled with many breeds of birds! My advice is the following: If you go there, bring a hat and binoculars!

Pont du Gard
The Pont du Gard is a Roman Aqueduct build around 19 B.C. and the second tallest remaining roman structure after the Coliseum at 161 feet. At the Pont du Guard you can swim in the river or hike for miles, the possibilities are endless! The river is freezing cold but some people jump straight in.( Unlike some people I know!!!!!)
Chateau des Les Baux de Provence
beautiful views, very nice. It was kind of a tourist trap though because the village relies only on tourism…. a 4 star rating from me.
Creative Ice cream flavors

The bridge of love in Paris ( Love in the form of padlocks)
In a city where it has known no bounds, love now has a weight limit. Shortly after 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 8, a railing of the Pont des Arts—a pedestrian bridge in Paris that spans the Seine River near the Louvre—buckled under the weight of thousands of padlocks. This idea has spread worldwide and brought down many bridges. A thoughtful but destructive gesture.
Parisian Tea
This is a little tea shop in Paris. It had many different flavors of tea like blackberry and chai. You could see her brewing the tea in a different room. Yummy!
The structure of a Macaron
A macaron is a sweet meringue-based confection made with eggs, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two biscuits. I love macarons because they are so small yet so delicious!!!!
