I made it! Couldn't sleep on the plane...time went very slowly, but as I stood looking around the airport in Genève, I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to find Elisabeth. The picture above is the fountain in Blanot and the entrance to Elisabeth's home is on the right.
After an hour's nap and some nut bread that Elisabeth had made, we walked up the hill to see Anne. She has a beautiful home with tulips blooming all around...you can only see a few of them here. To the left is an old bread oven. Anne was actually next door speaking with Noel and Mireille who have the pottery and from whom I will be renting the gite. I had a tour of the gite...this is going to be delightful! 

I slept well that night. The next day Elisabeth and I drove to Cluny...about 15 minutes away...to the farmers market where we joined the silent demonstration held each Saturday to protest the treatment of immigrants. Then we did a little shopping and I got money from an ATM. On our way home we stopped for a few minutes to watch a National Championship seen in the picture below.   

 
This evening I am with Francis and Marie-Annick. We leave early in the morning to head north. Good night for now...

  1. Beautiful! I know you are going to really enjoy this whole adventure and so are we back home. Looks like you didn't get my first comment. It was just letting you know I got the calls. Busy week at the Paramount - looking forward to more travel commentary. LOL, marya
