A fierce storm from the Atlantic Ocean hit southwestern France and northern Spain over the weekend, leaving at least 15 people dead and one million homes without power.
With torrential rains and winds approaching 175 kilometres an hour, the storm was described by weather forecasters as the region’s worst in a decade. [CBC]
We love to travel and learn. We like eating and sleeping and going on the internet and we can do all of those things from anywhere in the world. We are originally from Seattle, but no longer stay for the winters. We must leave and see new places and great ways to live. We enjoy living well and seeing how others live well.
Winter of 2010-2011 we were in Europe for a little over a month, then Haiti, then Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan. There was logic to it at the time, don't worry about trying to figure it out. We don't yet know where we're going for winter of '011. Maybe France? Maybe India?

Was thinking of you as the storm went through France. Though the beaches of Columbia are a bit warmer this time of year it seems like you are more at home in France.
Really enjoying the posts, pictures and maps!
