As I write this, it is over 90 degrees Farenheit in the Northeast United States. Boy, do I wish I could go somewhere where it is cool now. I'm thinking of some of my favorite destinations to visit in the winter time. Check out The Traveling Professor's blog post and get some advice on some good places to go when the weather isn't hot.
After completing almost 3 weeks with his small group tours in Paris and the Normandy Invasion Beaches, The Professor headed to Spain for 3 days of rest and relaxation. Madrid was surprisingly cool at this time of the year which made exploring comfortable. Check out what The Traveling Professor did on his short stay in the charming city of Madrid.
On my tour of Europe last month before we did our small group tour to the Bavarian Christmas Markets, The Traveling Professor did a research trip to prepare for a new small group tour to Spain. We visited Madrid, Seville and Granada on our tour and after researching several different hotels before settling on these three gems. Read about our favorite hotels in Spain in this travel blog post.
I am a semi-regular guest on the Scott Thompson radio program in Hamilton, Ontario. In between interviews on the eclipse and Jerry Lewis, Scott spoke with me on-air about stories he heard about tourists no longer being welcome in Europe such as this one. He also had some anecdotal stories of being treated rudely in Italy. We had about 10 minutes to talk on air and afterwards, my website lit up like a Christmas tree. See my comments on tourists being treated rudely or not being welcome in Europe.
One of the reasons I love to travel, whether it be on a small group tour to Norway or any of the countries we go to or by myself, is to eat.

The Traveling Professor kicked off his first small group trip to Spain this year. We visited Madrid, Segovia, Toledo, Avila, and Madrid.
