rsc and I have decide to go to France for about 10 days in April/May. I have been doing research via the net and library. I'm psyched and ready to go now but it will have to wait until the spring. As it currently stands we are going to the Loire valley first (via TGV from CDG when we arrive) and pickup a car there. We'll probably stay in Blois for 2-3 nights and go to its magnificent chateau as well as Chenonceau, Chambord and a couple of others. It's a bit too early to work out all details as to how many days we'll stay where but we've got a pretty good idea. We are skipping visiting Paris this time sad to say, but it'll give us more time to be elsewhere.
Then it is off to Conques (on left)
Conques is in the department of Aveyron, to its west is Lot, and then Dordogne. We intend upon going to Rocamadour (on right)
I went upstairs to my cache of old nostalgic stuff and found my journal from the 1972 trip and read some of it to Robert while he was cooking dinner. This trip was one year after my divorce and one year before we were a couple but that's another story. I'll be posting some of the journal one of these days (not backdating it). I should slog through my slide collection to find some of the slides. I have an undone project to scan the best slides but that is hard - first of all you have to choose which ones and secondly my slide scanner is kind of slow and only takes 6 at a time. I suppose a simplification of the project is to get a faster scanner and scan them all, but then....
