Charles (Charlie Boy) Bentley


Today we brought home this little guy. We adopted him from a group that picks up dogs in Italy and Spain that have been neglected (Charlie was in a puppy mill) and brings them to Switzerland to be adopted. He is 16 months old, so not a little puppy, however he still needs a lot of training! He is very sweet and gentile and seems to be picking up on doggy behavior quickly. He came to us malnourished and skinny, but we are fattening him up and taking him for long walks to help improve his muscle mass. We are happy to have him in our home.

The woman we think runs/owns the place.

This sunny side out of the bitterly cold wind is where people sat trying to warm up.

Marseille VII: View from the Top


Once you have climbed to the top of the hill to reach the Notre-Dame de la Garde, you are rewarded with a magnificent view of Marseille. This is the Marseille Cathedral (Cathédrale de la Major).

































The Old Port (Vieux-Port).



Château d'If made famous in The Count of Monte Cristo.
