Here I am in Samur with my my sister. Our trip is almost over as we fly home Monday. We spent our first week in Paris. I have been here several times before but not my sister. We had cool, rainy and dismal weather the whole week we were in Paris. I didn't mind the coolness, as I dislike hot weather. But my sister normally vacations in Central America and Mexico so she wasn't at all impressed!
Fortunately the weather has been much brighter and warmer in Saumur. It's a much more relaxed place too. We did get to Fontevraud Abbey, where Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry II of England and Richard the Lionhearted are buried. I've been a big fan of Eleanor for a long time. She was a most impressive woman.
Our first day in Paris Rudi emailed me that we got the apartment we wanted. I am so pleased. He's been a busy bee getting rid of a fair amount of junk. Good man!
So I have that to look forward to. All in all, a very positive time for me.
