We just got back from France yesterday afternoon. I found out it is possible to pack only one pair of pants and one skirt and make it through 10 days by doing wash in the sink every night. We took over 800 photos, and it would have probably been more, except that when I was in the castle in Beynac and tried to hand Waddy my camera, I dropped it. There is nothing like the sound of a digital camera crashing on the floor of a medieval castle floor.
Every where we went was phenomenal. I highly recommend all the places we stayed. The guide we used to do the World War 2 Band of Brothers tour was fantastic. In Normandy I ran into someone in the little bitty town where we stayed that I had worked with when I was Executive Director of Houston NW Habitat. I only worked for Habitat for 6 months, and Ron was on the Board of Directors. Ron and and his wife have lived in Florida for 7 years. I am still wondering what God wanted from that random meeting.
Here are the places we stayed:
Manoir Du Quesnay - manoir-du-quesnay.com (Normandy)
Le Petit Versailles - www.lepetitversailles.fr/ (Dordogne)
Le Mas Grand Jonquier - http://www.grandjonquier.com/ (Provence)
I believe France must have been the Garden of Eden. When the God sent the Flood, I think that is when humanity had to start all over again in the Middle East. It is so beautiful and there is so much history. Au revoir for now...
Le Mas Grand Jonquier looks beautiful!
