What a surprise to wake up and look out on a charming little French village. When we walked outside, we saw flowers everywhere on homes. not a dead flower in sight...what is their secret? We are going to see a castle, Le Chateau-Gaillard once belonging to the Archbishop of Rouen for his summer home. Yes, the clergy showed there power and strength by the land they owned. They are ruins now, and I am not so good at picturing this and that from ruins, but the drive up there promises to be loving. We actually are seeing some sun through the clouds today, so maybe the day will be "pleasant"...that is a Art word on every day..."Pleasant".
People are here from all over the USA. Some are friendly, and some are, well, people are people now, aren't they. Some become Ugly Americans while travelling and we stear away from those people. We met a woman from Australia who is pushing 90..she is so charming and willing to do everything. I have enjoyed conversations with her about things she has seen and done.
The food on this barge has been very delicious already and the staff seems willing to oblige and give you what you want. Now the room...well, it is very compact. The shower is a challenge if you are used to moving around...but you cannot move in this small space once you get in. I know Art will add so much more to the days adventures.. Love, Dianne
