For those of you who like to keep track of such things, we are heading back to France the end of this month. It's been a very strange time of late, Bern's passing on, my almost joining her, that sort of thing. Not to mention the unpleasantly bizarre state of our world.
What to do?
Go to France is our watchword. And so we are. For almost seven weeks.
We leave Grand Rapids 28 March and arrive in Paris the following day. From there we make our way by train to Tours in the Loire Valley where we not only spend 11 days enjoying a place we've never visited but we get to do it with friends Richard and Pauline. Life doesn't get much better than that, eh?
From Tours we train to Lyon (Rhone Valley) for 10 days then to Lake Annecy (French Alps) for three nights before heading off to Colmar (Alsace) for another 10 nights and ending in Paris for a final 10 days. All by train of course.
Our last night in France will be spent at the airport since we have an early flight on 13 May.
My plan here, such as it is, will be to journal every day -- photos and narrative of our food, wine, and sundry adventures.
Stay tuned!
