Welcome to the Travel Blog of Jean and Carlos!
Notares: (plural) to mark, annotate
We're celebrating our retirement together by doing some traveling. We want to return to places we love, as well as explore areas new to us. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area as we do, there's great weather year-round, blue skies, mountains and the Pacific Ocean, so it isn't easy to leave home.
Like many of our friends and family, we are serious foodies. We enjoy dining out and where we live, it's almost mandatory to try as many new restaurants as possible. I write extensive reviews (to remember where and what we ate), and these are all posted on a separate website: http://Exegesis.yolasite.com.
Our other interests include cooking, gardening, yoga, and reading. We enjoy history, science, religious and spiritual philosophies.
I have a garden website on Comcast, but it's been a while since I've updated it. My project for 2013 will be to transfer this into a third Yolasite.com blog format.
