I’ve known since before arriving in Paris that the summer would end with a bang. I don’t know why, then, it seems as though the beginning of the end, of perhaps the most amazing summer, snuck up on me. John and I spent our day running errands and packing for the first of our tree trips.
Tomorrow morning Oscar, John, Daphne and I will begin our trek (sorry Abe, but it’s not to Mamaroneck) to Viverols. Viverols is about 530 km south of Paris and will take a train, bus and short car ride to get to. Part of the region called Auvergne, Viverols is where John’s Mother’s side of the family is from. John says the next nine days will be full of good food, hikes and sun bathing in a relaxing atmosphere.
Once we return to Paris on the 2nd John and I will begin planning for our next trip to Aix en Provence to meet my cousins followed by a week in Groppallo, Italy (near Parma) to visit with John’s father’s side of the family.
I may not be the most frequent of bloggers but at least this time I have a good reason to go on a mini hiatus. Instead of surfing the internet, I’ll be practicing my French and enjoying a new French experience. Who knows… I may even return liking cheese, froie gras or even frog legs! Not to worry though, in between our trips I promise to update my blog.
