This rain has been very lovely, as it’s in and out, and not at all cold. Yesterday we met up with Francois & Anita’s friends, Patrique and Anny. After ANOTHER delicious lunch we strolled along the historic district to their antique shop. By chance I asked if they lived upstairs and when she showed us their residence, we were just stunned. Some photos of this 16th Century (renovated, of course) home and store – including Eddie’s little girlfriend, “Loo,” their little 4 year old granddaughter. I also walked with them to her close by school and saw the other cuties. She gave me my “bisous” (kisses on both cheeks, when we met.
Later,Francois wanted us to ride the little tourist train which meanders around the scenic lanes of the city (of Flaubert –Madame Bovary?) but the train – that day at least – was just for certain groups. Well, Francois nearly raised the roof. He returned to the tourist office and talked to no fewer than three officials. We were prepared for the second “French Revolution”, but in spite of it all, the tourist bureau won and now it’s all a bit of joke. (He’s constantly plagued by how “money rules” and that’s the same in our country.)
