Back in France

Us
We're now back in France after 4 1/2 months in the USA. It was a spectacular trip due to all the various places explored, catching up with old friends and making new ones, topped off with a nephew's wedding in New Jersey for the grand finale.

The RV held up well with nary a problem throughout the 9000 mile (14,400 km) journey although the high price of diesel did put quite a dent in the budget. The latter part of our trip up the northwestern USA took us into new fascinating territory. The Pacific Coast north of San Francisco had always been on our bucket list and although now we can cross that off, we hope to return soon to this magnificent and dynamic region. It's difficult to do justice to its beauty with a few photos but we hope they give a taste of what we experienced.
