The End Of France 2009 Trip

Our summertime 2009 adventure in France is over. We experienced three completely different things during each week:

Week one Paris- tons of history, architecture, art, the hustle and bustle of 20 million people and great cuisine.

Week two- on the Midi Canal- living and working together through the dozens of locks eventually dropping  to the Mediterranean Sea. Seeing this French county side by boat allowed us to take in all the slow paced culture of these ancient towns and traditions. I t was truly really like we were looking at picture book. 

Week three- our own private  3 bedroom-4 bath private villa a few miles from the sea where we relaxed, ate great food, explored the area, swam, read, napped and laughed. 

I have learned that Yo Yo's hair looks great when left alone without modern conveniences ,like a  hairdryer and straightening iron. The men at the locks snapped many a picture of her while she was tending to the boat dressed in her swimsuit at picture point range.

Jessica has the most pretty 'hanging out' clothes that even the Kennedy's would be proud of.. She is always the one making sure everyone else is ok. Thanks.

Tammara! has extraordinarily long legs. She is also a great boat captain and Paris tour guide. Never wanting to the the first one to bed- she did her best to keep us in party mode and sight seeing until we dropped.   

Victoria, the Admiral in Charge of this trip-  can manage a boat, a train, a map,  a car, her family and friends and still keep her cool each evening with a pack of cigarettes and a glass of her favorite beverage. Impressive Oye!

"Lisa Lisa" McDaniel is forever the happy go lucky a person who mastered the French Press so the rest of us could have coffee each day. This was a critical function for our team. She also supplied chips and salty snacks at happy hour when we needed it most.
