sorry it has been so long...

So, since we last wrote, quite a bit has happened as it has been about a month. We went to Paris and Amsterdam via a really fast train to check out the scenes. Paris was a bit overwhelming and we were glad not to be there with our bicycles. However, Amsterdam was full of bicycles and somewhat quaint for a city, and we are excited to travel back there on our bikes. Once back in Provence, per Georges and Crystal's recommendation, we decided to take a 5 day trip to the Parc de la Camargue via bicycle. There, we experienced a lengthy dirt road where we saw a ton of flamingos, something none of us expected to see in Europe. We also took a also dip in the Mediterranean even though the water was a tad on the chilly side. Upon returning to Crystal and Georges' we have been helping out with the olive harvest and had a nice Thanksgiving with some new American friends visiting the area. We are planning on heading out on the road again soon toward Italy and will give you another update soon. Hope all is well and sorry for the delay in reporting our whereabouts!!

  1. Hi you wild women!
    How wonderful to hear of your trails... as I recuperate from Thanksgiving cholesterol overdose. On your way to Italy may I suggest Nice (it's nice) as a wonderful stopover (I remember a really 'nice' hostel there back in 1979) and don't forget Brindisi - the gateway to the Greek Isles. (if olives are in season and you're willing to pick - try Corfu - you won't be disappointed!) Gen - you've never seen water like this!
    Wishing you safe trails! xx Cousin Barb
