So, after versailles (Which you see Laren struggling to get in; unfortunately we had to much fun on our picnic in the gardens that we ended up missing the tour) we decided to bit a bit more practical so we spent the next day at the louvre which I think Hoyt could have stayed at for more than 5 hours but my capacity hit a bit earlier...then we had the most lovely meal with my friend Libby and her hubby and new baby in their townhome in boulounge...they served it up with a yummy and red onion and chorizo tart then a pasta served with grilled vegetables and then a delicisioso peach tarte, cheese plate and chocolate...althought the food was perfect I believe that playing with Nathan and getting reaquainted with Libby was the best part...the next day we did very little beause we had run ourselved into the ground but we did make it to a park and down the champs elysees and to the arc...that was yesterday but today...
We hopped on the train and made our way to the South of France to Jen's friend Lizzie's place in
Coutres, France (which might find on mapquest but probably not). This place is the most beautiful place you can imagine...if you have seen the movie good year with russel crowe blended with the secret garden...imagine that but 50 times better...a little chateau in the wine country, where it smells like a fire was burned a few days before, the gardens are just so overgrown that you feel like someone cares but not too much that they don't enjoy it...and just now a storm is blowing in and the windows are lighting up...and of course you need a blanket but not a big wool one but a light one as long as someone is there to keep you cozy...this is the life for sure

Don't forget Allison and I were in the wine country....it was FREEZING and we were RIDING ACROSS the HILLSIDES AND MOUNTAINS and it was FREEZING....and my bicycle lost its brakes and it was FREEZING... sort of like the place you are...sort of...... remember, wine, cheese, and rest.
Heavenly days. Love mom
