Celebrating a love of all things reading and writing
Marseille is the second largest city in France. We started the day with a walking tour of the old town. Then our tour group split up for a couple of options. I chose to go to Cosquer Cave, a replica of a prehistoric cave. I was very excited to discover that the cave is the... Continue Reading →
Tha majority of my job is phonics instruction. I've been toying with the idea of creating some stories and poems about these rules. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them once they were completed. For now, I've decided that Nicole's Nook is a good home for them. The main purpose of... Continue Reading →
Whenever I'm asked which superpower I would want, I always respond with teleportation. Visiting other places is fun, but the time it takes to travel there is not. That is an advantage to tours. Collette is always very good about planning stops along the way. On the way to Marseille we stopped to tour the... Continue Reading →
The hotel wifi wasn't cooperating last night, so I missed posting. As predicted, I love the countryside of Spain more than Barcelona.

As the title suggests, this is not what I was expecting my first post to be. I was going to skipt he travel time and begin tomorrow when the tour officially begins. But, the trip got off to a bit of a rocky start. Which lead me to think about the first thing I always... Continue Reading →
This is a just a quick note to let you know that the content at Nicole's Nook is going to be shifting over the next couple of weeks as I travel. Instead of keeping a journal like I normally do, I'm going to document the trip here. I don't know how much time I'll have,... Continue Reading →
Nicole's Nook is primarily a book blog. But, I also want to occasionally include some writing "talk". I'm going to start out today by talking about the importance of finding writing groups. By nature, writing is a solo activity. That's why it's so important to find your writing people. When I started writing, I didn't... Continue Reading →
