photo catch up

We decided today would be a rest day, and we would stay in our beautiful air BNB, and a perfect choice for the day.

It is warm but raining heavily.

Quotes of the day:

I just have to wash the coffee off my foot.

I can’t have my coffee without pain au chocolat.  

We have reach new lows and new highs in our expectations.  

Yesterday we made the move from our manoir in Brittany to our lodgings in the Loire.  We routed through secondary highways, rolling through the little French towns not on the tourist trail.  Our one mark for the day was Villandry, famous for its gardens.  






We arrived in Dierre, France, a tiny village of 562 people and perfectly perfect.  Every tiny yard is groomed and tidy with little fenced vegetable gardens, grape vines, fruit trees.   562 industrious French inhabitants here.   

Our hosts greeted us with a local red wine (this is wine cellar territory) - and showed us their two week old foal.  





Being a rest day, we got some groceries and are presently lounging about the premises.  Dinner willbe in house.  Tomorrow will be our longest travel day.  Most travelling days have been 2-3 hours of actually driving time, but tomorrow we have five hours in the car, with a few stops along the way.

gelato is real

So, in honour of our pending trip to France and Italy, I have invented (I might even say, "perfected") Vitamix gelato. I share it with you here: Step 1:  get a Vitamix. Step 2: crack six eggs and put the yolks in your Vitamix, make meringue or throw away the whites, I don't care at all. Step 3: whir the egg yolks in your Vitamix for 5-10 min. or until you are confident they are cooked. Step 4:  Add sugar to the egg yolks while whirring.  Enough to make them sweet. Could be honey or maple syrup.  I don't mind. Step 5:  Add half and half to your egg yolk, sugar mixture while whirring away.  Maybe about two cups.  At this point, you will need to put the lid on the Vitamix.   For splashing reasons. Step 6:  Start adding frozen fruit  a little at a time.  Like strawberries or blueberries or mango. Step 7:  Keep adding frozen fruit until your mixture is VERY thick, so that your Vitamix makes that "I can't handle any more" noise, and you have to stic

For the purpose of our up and coming trip, I'm creating this blog as my online journal.  I'm doing it now because I'm SO excited. We are going to France for about two weeks, and Italy for about two weeks. Because I’ve never been to France, it’s mythical.  I have been to Italy, so I know it’s really there, and shaped like a boot, I saw from the airplane.  It was ridiculous. Here’s an up to date picture of my kids: The Youngest Four are coming with us to Europe.  If they behave themselves in the next three weeks.  The adult women get to be married, so they are not coming with us.   So, The Professor (not his real name), Chicken Whisperer (also not his real name) and Silas (also not his real name) are coming with us along with Baby Rosebud who is nearly 13.  And is not named Baby or Rosebud.

last day in France

Image
Today we left Arles.  We drove north to Pont du Gard, a beautifully intact Roman aqueduct (the French call it aqueduc...that’s funny - like, “duck”) that is from the first century.  FYI, that’s 2000 years old. It was pretty amazing, and big, I might add.  FYI, that’s my hand on the 2000 year old stones. We cruised through a couple of Provence cities, but here’s Provence in just a nutshell, this time of year.  Hill...vineyard...castle...vineyard...hill...vineyard...cute medieval town...vineyard. Along the southern coast of France was really the highlight of the day.  Not even kidding.  We took the coastal road for a while, just to add harrowing to our list of adjectives. Check these out:
