After a rough start of my plane being delayed in Oklahoma City due to weather and a long layover in the Detroit airport, followed by a long rough flight to Paris, I managed to not let any stress get the better part of me once I arrived. It used to a lot, but I quickly found my luggage, got some cash out of the ATM, located the info to the bus I needed to catch and eventually found myself feeling a bit relaxed on a bus ride into city center. I was pleased to see my iPhone was working here and glad I prepaid for the 20MB of data usage while traveling. Otherwise it would cost a fortune to use and the GPS map will probably be a good friend over the next week.
Some time off, we headed south to Brittany in lower France to a little cottage estate owned by the Campling family. Lot's of Wine, Games, and golf this weekend. Tomorrow I am going to help Chaz with cladding the side of the barn. It's not just beautiful here, it's postcard kind of beautiful.
France was a fun little break where I understood little being said but had fun trying to work it out. Luckily most of the French know how to speak some English and I had an interpreter with me as well in most cases (thanks Julie).
