I really enjoyed this deeply personal travel diary. If you’re a traveler, you’ll appreciate the adventures of the author and her husband as they trek through France, and beyond, on the cusp of the pandemic. My husband and I are looking forward to extended vacations in Europe and this travel journal offered a little taste of what to expect.
