Finally in St. Chamas

OK, we did make it and are safe and sound......well, at least safe.  Who is to say who is sound?
We had a great time visiting Michele and Simone and Erik's parents, Jacques and Yvonne.  I know I spelled some names wrong...so forgive me.
We visited a lot of neat places..... La Rochelle, where we found a globe of the world and Dan found Illinois; we visited a reproduction being built of Lafayette's ship he used in coming to America to aid the colonies in the battle for freedom; toured the salt marshes around Niort; visited Roman ruins in Perigeaux and have eaten a lot!  Still, we seem to be hungry.  It's the wine.
I had a black Friday, dropped my computer, lost the screw that holds the lenses in on my glasses, camera memory card died, but all is well that ends well.

Unfortunately, our house internet is not up and running yet....hopefully tomorrow.
A bientot!
