About Barbara Weibel

After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. Searching for meaning in my life, I abandoned my successful but unsatisfying career and set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip around the world to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography.

Great angle. When we were there it was pouring rain. Nice to see it in the sunshine:)

  Hi Deb & Dave: Weather was not my friend in France. I was there six weeks and it rained or was grey and cloudy all but maybe 4 days. Fortunately, the day I toured the Chateau was bright and sunny. Paris, not so much
