Home in the USA

I'm home! I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog in a very long time but we didn't have internet access the last two weeks in France. We had a very nice visit & saw quite a bit of countryside. Some was unintentional, but for the most part, with the map and our GPS system (her name is Emily & she cannot speak French), we got where we intended to be.

From Paris we drove to Toulouse & spent the night. Then we went to Lourdes, staying three nights in nearby Aspin en Lavedan. Then we went to watch the Tour de France in Mane & Bagneres de Bagorre. That night we sleptin Luz St Sauveur, spending Bastille Day there & watching the Tour go by again. From there we spent a night in Agen (it's a trashy town, never go there!) and Orleans before coming back to Paris.

Here are some photos:


This is Emily, installed in our Renault Modus.


And this is the price of diesel fuel, in Euros, per liter. You can do the conversion & discover it's about 9$/gal. So stop complaining about how much you paid to fill up.
