Au revoir, France; Au revoir Beth

Monday was a travel day. Again we took the TGV but this time back to Paris. It was a beautiful day and a pleasant trip. Sylvie and Claude drove us to the bus in Manosque (where the station had no toilettes because they had lost the key. We laughed! Where's the locksmith?) Claude was so accommodating. He took me to a cafe where I had a cappuccino and used the facilities.

We played gin rummy on the train and Paris arrived before we knew it.



Here the fields are yellow.

Our hotel was literally across the street from the train station. Voila! Thank you again Julien and Dominique for setting us up!

We got in our room, bathed, watched tennis in French, German and Italien, and slept for nine hours.

A taxi picked us up at our hotel at 7 in the morning and whisked us off to Charles de Gaulle where Beth and I both left from the same general terminal. My bags are a lot lighter now because I had forgotten I had three jars of Provencal lavender honey in them each weighing 250 whatever the unit of measurement is. The limit is 100. Pffft!! Three more gifts to buy in Ireland.

As far as weight is concerned, I want to only buy lace in Ireland. It's light. No more honey.

I will miss my little sister. She's a fun travel companion, easy going and quick to laugh----or, as we have discovered to say----- a laughing woman. She can take life's twists and turns and doesn't get grumpy unless she's heavily sleep-deprived. (Bef, I'm sorry I snored some, but that seems to come with age and exhaustion.) She is on her way to San Francisco; I am headed for Dublin.

Au revoir, France! Au revoir, Beffy Boo!





MUAH!!!!
