Goodbye Alfred....

It's sad to post the passing of a good friend Alfred Gimenez here in Uzes on April 13. We'd spent some good times together at wonderful meals, parties and knocking a few little white balls off the tee. His culinary talent made for some of the most delicious paella ever tasted. He will be missed.

Happy 100th Irene!

Today we went to the small town of Rognonas near Avignon to visit with Irene Wozniak & her son Jacques. Irene is Gisele's mom Therese's aunt & she celebrated her 100th birthday April 1 with a huge celebration amongst family & friends. It was great to see that she's still in good health and her usual cheerful self.

Back home in Uzes

Just a quick note on the blog to say we arrived well and safe in Uzes. 21 hours between Dallas & Uzes! Our only problem at the moment is we have no wifi so I'm writing this from an internet cafe in Uzes.

Dallas!

Only a couple of days left before we head back to France, so we took a tour of Dallas. One of the largest exhibits of bronze statuary as well as a magnificent representation of a cattle drive is in the downtown area.

The Road Home

It's April 1 and we've seen drivers who've had worse problems than us here in Amarillo, Texas. They seem to have fallen from the sky! Seriously it's the famous Cadillac Ranch along Highway 40 just west of Amarillo created by a colorful local Stanley Marsh 3.
