Hi!  Thank you for visiting our blog.

We are Bob and Sally LeFeber.  We are empty-nesters living in Oregon, and after much consideration and planning we are about to embark upon a three-month adventure in Europe.

We really like to travel, and have taken many fun trips.  On our longer trips we kept a daily hand-written journal.  We’ve enjoyed revisiting those journals, and they come in handy when we get around to putting photos in an album.  While hand-written journals are great, we realize it is 2016 and now we can keep a journal on our very own blog site.  It is more legible (cursive is waning, sad to say); you can find it when you want it (“Where’s the journal, honey?”  “I don’t know, maybe the left outer zip pocket of the red bag?”); and, to be honest, it makes us feel techno-savvy and slightly hip (we are from Portland so we are sensitive to the need to be “hip”).

So this blog is a journal of our wanderings and wonderings during this upcoming adventure.  We’ll cover destinations, activities, what is fun, what is not-so-fun.  That’s the “wandering” part.  But we’ll also cover our mistakes, struggles, and accidental discoveries.  That’s the “wondering” part, because I anticipate plenty of “I wonder” moments:   “I wonder how we ended up on this side of the river?”  “I wonder what Advil is called in Italy?” “I wonder why this stone is such a lovely shade of pink?”

If you decide to read any of the posts, we hope you enjoy them.  And if you have any ideas for us as we go along, please let us know!

Bob and Sally
