With no mortgage or rent to pay, we left with no return date or home to come back to. Exploring for 9 weeks, we traveled from Florida (Tampa and Key West), to Portugal (Funchal, Madeira), to Spain (Malaga, Cartagena, and Barcelona), to the C�te d'Azur in the south of France (Antibes, Nice, Eze, St. Paul de Vence), to Provence (Arles, Avignon), then a month in Paris. Come with my wife and me and see this country's amazing beauty, along with all the humorous cultural differences and "what the hell" moments you'll get a kick out of. Climb mountains, descend into the Paris Metro, dodge pickpockets, endure nasty weather and illness, and witness the flood of the century with us. Experience some wonderful and not-so-wonderful people. Chuckle with me as we live among the French and try to learn their ways and language. Then make it back home to an empty rental home we found online. Readers say they feel like they are right there with us on the journey, and laugh out loud, especially from the "Bathroom Reports". This book, with its 75 photograph illustrations, is available now on Amazon in both paperback (black and white illustrations) and Kindle (color illustrations)!

Download or read book Broken Daydreams written by Calvary Dominique and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like everyone else in his generation, seventeen-year-old Calvary Dominique is waging war against time... and losing miserably. In a world dominated by technology, political turmoil, and broken economy, holding your head above water is almost impossible. However, "Broken Daydreams... Otherwise Known as My Eclectic, Sometimes Random, Almost Optimistic, Totally Unconventional Thoughts on How to Redeem a Fractured Generation" reminds us that despite the all-consuming darkness, hope is always dancing in the shadows. Calvary has been surrounded by faith since he was a little boy. His stories of attending church, youth group, and Christian camps are not what one would expect from a member of Generation Z. And nobody realizes that more than Calvary. The tale of his spiritual journey through childhood, adolescence, and teen years is exciting, unique, and yet relatable. Those young and old who, just like Calvary, are bored with this trend-driven, high-obsessed era, would find a kindred spirit in the narrator of "Broken Daydreams." The rich and resonating narrative, coupled with the beauty of Calvary's own poems, are what makes "Broken Daydreams" the perfect book for those struggling to find their way in this strange contemporary society.
