Wow......hard to describe all that has happened in the past few days.
We left St Chamas at 6:00 a.m. last Thursday. For an idea of what we did that day, put your finger on a map of France near Marseilles, then go up to Lyon, over to Paris, then west to the coast......a long time on the train.
We left our new friends in St Chamas a little teary eyed..... the baker lost business, the bar lost business, the grocery store lost business and the bus company is thinking of cutting back now that we are no longer spending bucks in their community.
We spent three full days in the Brittany area of France, with a friend of Dan's. One thing we noticed about the French..... they sure can cook! We had wonderful meals and on our last night went to a crepes restaurant in the area and stuffed ourselves. Unfortunately, I lost a bottle of wine. Well, actually the contents. I had the bottle, shattered, in my suitcase. I smelled like wine for a little while until I could get clothes washed and dried.
We drove to an area where there are Stonehenge shaped rock formations..... pretty cool to see. They are in several places. To me, they look like something aliens would place....but there seems to be other explanations as well.
We also went down the wild coast and spent some time watching the waves pound the rocks... all on a peninsula that juts out into the ocean.
Today we were up at 4:30 so we could catch a 6 a.m. train. We spent about three hours wandering Luxembourg Gardens, having lunch, looking at pretty girls (that was me, Linda) and in general enjoying the last few hours in France.
Dan took 1,167 pictures, and I was close to that.... some are good, some bad, and we will have to look at all of them to figure out which are which.
Maybe when I get home I'll pick out a few from this weekend...... but it may be a day or two... and share them on line.
