Tour deFrance

Quick note - it's late and we need to get some sleep. Tomorrow we catch a bus to a train that will deliver us to Nice, France - our next stop.

Our tour today (from 9am-7pm) covered about 160 miles. There were 4 other people in our group - one couple lived in Bothell, Washington and the young woman had just graduated from UW. It's a small world....

We stopped and explored at least 4 or 5 towns with varying impressive histories. Our last stop was a Roman aqueduct over the Rhone River.

One thing I found interesting was the woman who was giving us the tour was fairly young. I mentioned we were driving on JFKennedy Hwy and she said, oh yes, there are a lot of Eisenhower street names too. She said that we (the French) owe Eisenhower a lot for what he did during WWII.

That's a very brief description of our day due to time constraints! Au-revoir again/
