On the Road Again
Bev as co-pilot.
Ever tried to read tire changing instructions in the dark while it is raining...written in French?
Cam - our super hero!
Zut Alors! A Flat!
Yes, they have cats in France.

Watching a demo in the cloister at St. Hilarie
Part of our gang enjoying the sunshine while watching Linda demonstrate some negative painting techniques.Abbey Saint Hilaire
I just thought I'd post a few pictures from the Abbey to get us rolling! If anyone has any pictures or stories that they would like me to post, please let me know and I'll put them up.

hello to our families and friends at home!
Do we miss you? Of course, but we are having a fantastic time!
The whole gang says hello to you and we will post some pictures soon.
Some of our activities have included:
A visit to a country farm house in the highlands for dinner prepared by the farmer and his wife - yes, we had rabbit.
A tour of a 16th century church and a 14th c. church that was directed by Jamie.
Poppy fields!
A medieval town square.
Painting in the cloisters at St. Hilarie
A flat tire on a rainy night!
...and too many laughs
Please visit again soon to see what we are up to.
