Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

Roadtrip

Today we planted about 100 small shrubby plants along the edge of our property. We were given the plants by our neighbor who started them from cuttings. They all flower and are meant to attract bees which will help him out as he is a honey producer. Tomorrow we are driving to Provence, somewhere near Aix. Then Saturday we are having lunch with friends from our Paris days at their home near Toulon, and then we go on to Bar sur Loup near Grasse, again to see friends. We plan to take the Guide Hachette and taste and hopefully buy some wine and also bring back some pottery (I need nothing) and some good olive oil. We want to check out marinas for future boat trips. We will be staying near the Med for about 5 days so I will be off line until the middle of next week. When I return I will post photos of the Med and scenes from our other adventures.
