First, a few corrections/additions to the last entry:
blague = joke
Sugarload = Sugarloaf
&, we had to jump an electric fence to get to the mountain (well, we avoided paying a 2-euro fee... and the fence was only lightly charged...)

Today we went to the Chateau Moras a few hours away. Three large buses took all of us there and back. Vomitous kids from the mountainous switchbacks kept the trip there interesting. At the fortress, which was up on a hill above a city (I know, hard to believe, right?) we got to go around and learn some of the medieval crafts, such as practice swordfighting, calligraphy, and painting (for the younger kids). It was hot for a while, and then it rained, but it was a good trip. The walk up to the fortress was killer.

The other pictures didn't turn out well. Camp ends Tuesday. I get back a week from tomorrow (Friday).

  1. Hi,
    You never did say what city you were near.

    Earlier I sent some unfinished train pictures and thoughts on the football game.

    I leave Fri for PA and come back Monday. We leave Thur (7-29) for Orlando and come back Wed (8-1).

    Thanks for the update.

    Have fun. I love you.

  2. I don't know what city we're near. We're in the middle of the Ardech (spelling?) mountains, and it's supposed to be as remote as you can get in France.

    Hmm, I don't think 8-1 is a Wednesday.
