France Rocked!

We're home and trying to recover, but the trip was fantastic. We managed to make it home only an hour or so late, and with only one missing bag. Naturally, that's the bag with most of the gifts in it. Ah, well. At least the folks at baggage services have found it and we should see it Monday. I think it just wanted another day in Amsterdam. Who can blame it, really?

I know I promised that I would post pix and stories while I was on the trip, but, really, I was too busy taking the pictures and living the stories. I make a new promise that I will post the pictures and stories over the next several weeks.

For now, though, here are a few pics to whet your appetite:

First up: the cheese monger at the (small, I am told) Tuesday street market in Laval.



And another of some flowers outside of the chateau in Mayenne:



Stay tuned!
