I’m glad you liked it.

Glad you enjoyed it. The girl jumping in the pink jumpsuit cracks me up.

Oh thank you Suzanne! I hadn't thought about that little silver lining but I'm loving the look back too.

Most definitely Bob, thanks for asking. With the added citrus flavors it is very refreshing.

Agree Rachel, it was amazing. You were there the day before we were! I just watched your wonderful slideshow from that hike; it brought back a lot of scenes I'd forgotten. Thanks for that.

Loved the band video. Fun group.

Would you recommend the Moustache as a good beverage?

What a treat to see pictures of sunny France while it is snowing here. I am glad you didn't get your journal finished sooner as I have been suffering withdrawal and a glimpse of pedaling in France is so welcome.

As Scott mentioned we canoed down this in the past but this year when we were in Saracen I hiked to La Roque-Gagaec and back. The fort was amazing!

That warm yellow of the stone is a beautiful counterpoint to the green beyond.

Appreciate the French lesson Rich and Steve, this is useful vocabulary

We learned, the hard way, to only ask for tres bien cuit, pas de rouge du tout, in order to get adequately cooked meat in France.

Haha - the French do eat a lot of duck - especially here in the south. I'm surprised they didn't ask you how you wanted it cooked. For both steak and duck, the French really seem to like it barely cooked. I usually ask for "bien cuit" or, if I'm feeling adventurous, "a point". It sounds like you got a "sanglant" or "bleu". I can't eat it that way, either.

Not sure if I'm not a duck person, Rich, or just need some education in waterfowl appreciation. Hmm, sounds like another reason to go back.

I guess I've watched too many Rick Steves videos Scott. I have a hard time passing up all the things.
