Following The Stones

Travel Along

We retired early to save our physical and emotional health. We chose to jump into our Go-Go years with gusto and invite you along our stone pathway. We will bring you authentic information from our lived experiences and hope you find some useful stones for your own life journey.

Photo of the Week: In the town of Pont l’Êvêque, with a cheese of the same name, we captured Église Saint Michel standing boldly in the background with the antique car driving past. It's a sharp contrast to the 1944 WWII destruction.

Adventure Part Due

Hello, France!

It's 2026 and time for us to adventure again. We will travel to Europe again with different cities and different countries. We look forward to learning more.

It's time to leap again!

The 2026 Itinerary might be a budget breaker, but hope to balance it with a less expensive 2027 line up. Using a multi-year plan for travel has been very successful for long-term travelers.

Leave a Stone

Throughout history stones have been used for housing, streets, cooking, jewelry, art, and weaponry. When you leave a kind comment on our website, you leave behind a stone for all to see and learn from. Feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or tell us how much you miss us. Once a kind stone is cast, others can roll your stone along the path by replying to your comment.

Although we are enjoying ourselves completely in this new nomadic lifestyle, we miss our friends and family significantly.
