FRANCE

It's been two months since my last post.

In that time, my sister Susan, Kate my niece, and I

have traveled to France and back.

It was an extraordinary trip!

 In Paris we managed to meet my younger

brother Rick and his lovely wife, Terry

for a few days.

We wandered the streets of Paris

soaking up the sights and atmosphere,

stopping whenever we could at

one of the numerous outdoor cafes

for a coffee.

After saying farewell to the city of lights

and family we journeyed to

Avignon and the surrounding areas.

Everything here was so picturesque  and charming.

(a couple from Australia  we toured with)

 It was just magical...the

sights,

sounds,

and of course food and drink!

I can hardly believe this is my life.

Lastly we traveled to the land of the

rich and famous.

Monaco, Monte Carlo and

Nice.

This was the view from our hotel in Nice.

It was just a short walk to Old Town.

Kate couldn't resist

playing in the giant fountain

right outside our doorway.

Home again with a treasure chest
of memories that I can
pull out when life gets me down.
