Hi Mimi, great photos. Especially liked the one of the roof tiles in many colors. I see we got our pictures up the same night, only my trip was two months ago and yours was last week.

Mimi
I absolutely loved these photos! The Pups!! what sort of pup was the one lying by the window ? lol, a lot of hair!
That viaduct!! I got dry mouthed and nervous just looking at the photo .. what if the wind blows hard? yikes!
I loved the colors of the tiles, the pictures of the village, they were all great. Thank you!

Sigh~such a wonderful trip report!!Thank you. It makes me wish I was there now.

Mimi.......What a glorious report!!
So glad that you had such a marvelous trip!!
Thank you for such a terrific report!
Welcome home, dear!!

Welcome back, Mimi! I enjoyed reading about your trip - the sights, surprises, food, friends, hotels, etc. - all of it wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with us.

Loved the photos. Especially the pups. The wired haired fox terrier checking out the table did me in. Thanks for sharing, Mimi.

Thanks Mimi for the report and the pictures! I have not been to visit my relatives in 5 years! We are planning to go back this summer! Your pictures brought back my beautiful memories and I am longing to be back in France! My cousins son works in Aix making Santons! I loved your pictures! Thanks again!

PS: I too gained weight after the death of my father and a knee injury I sustained taking care of him 10 days before he died. I have been in a wheel chair for the last year and now am able to walk with a cane. I am trying to lose weight before I see my French cousins. They are all so small! I hope I do not get ugly comments or looks !

gereldineb, I'm happy you are out of your wheelchair, and don't worry, the French do not make ugly comments in general. Rudeness is not coming from any one country, only from rude people.
Don't delay because of weight. Loved ones only see the wonderful things about you.

Cigalechanta,
What a great report! My hats off to you for driving from Chagny (I'm familiar with it, as we were near there a year and some ago to see Beaune and Autun) all the way to St.-Paul-de-Vence. Now that had to be a long haul!
Anyway, thanks for the treat. I love to hear about other folks' experiences in France, not just Paris.
Regards,
Joanie from le Californie (Destination Paris msn board)

joanie, so happy to see you here too. Thanks. I m planning on meeting Michael for a drink or spend the day and hope to meet Lucy in February

topping for iluv...we also stayed(and liked the food" at "The Begude St pierre" that is outside of Uzes

Mimi...thank yo for the detailed trip reports. Paralleled many towns, villages and regions that I've covered in the past..always tickles the nostalgia nerve to read other people's reports. Love your attention to detail.
I see that you had a gathering in Brookline...I'm a Californian now for the past 48 years..but born and brought up in Quincy, first wife (now deceased) was from Brookline...spent a helluva lot of time on that trolley line...I have been back to the Boston area many times..as recently as this past May..stayed with an old friend in Wayland, but attended granddaughter's graduation from Emerson College, held at the Wang Center...Emerson, is my alma mater..got to present granddaughter for her diploma. Still refer to Quincy as "my hometown"...also took my first graduate degree at BU.
Many happy travels in the future, Mimi... (where in the area do you live?)

Stu, not in Brookline BUT Brookline St. I'm in Cambridgeport by MIT and University Park.
Thanks for your kind words. A friend of mine tsaught at Emerson. I'm working part time for her to pay for my Paris trip in February.
And for all my friends here!!!!
We adopted a small 14 lb grey poodle that I call "Pastis."

Salut,Pastis!
