Doug again... writing about Saturday. Adjacent to my cousin's house is a small river which is public property. There are footpaths on both sides which can be walked for miles. Or, uh, kilometers I guess. Minus Matthew and Susan, who were both sick in bed, we trundled off to explore. We found -- water to splash in, trees to climb, Roman aqueducts to admire, farm animals to annoy.
Another great day. Just like the French countryside should be. In the evening we did some shopping. Buying wine was especially fun. Kris took us to a place nearby where they fill your bottles with a hose from the giant wine vat. We tasted a few wines and decided on a local Cote du Rhone. Kris filled her giant 10 liter jug and off we went. Later -- thanks to Yannick and Kris -- we ate another fabulous meal. Roast game hen with chestnuts and mushrooms. Yummy.Sunday morning update. Susan is better. Matthew is not. :(

I think that mule looks cute, with her long eyelashes!
McRudy has been developing his epicurean tastes, learning to discriminate between fresh and old rotten horse apples. He wants you to know that he prefers the fresher ones, as they stick to his beard more easily (providing snacks later in the day, as need be.)
We are lonesome for you and can't wait to see you! Hope you get well and have a safe travel home... Give Matt some of the wine, if his throat still hurts! ;)
Your old technophobe aunt is trying to figure out how to post a comment. Glad you had a good time in France. Hope you had a good time in the UK. I enjoyed having you and hope I wasn't too impatient with the chaos. Old Spinster Aunt. I want to see a picture of Switzerland - or at least hear about the drive there.
