Sunday, Oct.4 EN ROUTE NORTH

After 300+ miles of perfect directions and “care free driving”, and after a lovely lunch and view of the exquisite town and cathedral of CHARTRES (picture), we got oh so lost in the suburbs of Rouen where we needed to meet cousin, Francois at 5. So, we drove into a car wash where these guys were hanging out and – they led us (nearly a half hour) to our rendezvous point at the Avis place in the regional airport.

They were so cute and happy to receive the Euros we offered. We exchanged e mail and voila…back on schedule!

Bye bye little Panda!

Sunday night a champagne toast to Francois and his new wife Anita at their lovely farm way in the countryside of Normandy. (Google Earth: Gaillefontaine – north east of Rouen.)
