LEAVING FOR EUROPE

This will be our last blog until we return the end of July. We are going to Europe for a month.

We are currently at my nephew’s house on a lake in Sturbridge, Mass. He has been a wonderful host. Today my brother (his father) and sister-in-law have joined us here for lunch and dinner. They brought the lunch and it was lovely beside the lake. My nephew will take us to the Boston airport on Thursday (June 22) where we will take Jet Blue to the JFK airport to catch our flight to Madrid.

We are flying on Lufthansa to Madrid where we will join a two-week tour of Spain, Portugal and a day trip to Morocco. The towns we will visit are: Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Granada, Costa del Sol, Tetouan (in Morocco),Gibraltar, Seville, Lisbon, Fatima, Salamanca, Segovia. Then we catch a train from Madrid to Hendaye on the French coast where we will pickup our car and stay two nights in Biarritz and its beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Then it’s off to our rented place in the Dordogne area of France for two weeks. Dordogne is famous for its foie gras, truffles, and prehistoric cave paintings. We are joined the first week by two of our friends and then are on our own for the last week. We are looking forward to celebrating Bastille Day while we are there. Lovern seems to need this ‘French fix’ every so often. We fly home from Toulouse on July 23 and will resume our blog soon after.
