That's what makes a great adventure.<br /><br />Thanks Bernard, we have been encountering those race drivers in Italy as well. Some times when they pass it reminds one of the term 'breath taking speed'! As for our projected arrival in Jurancon, we will add up the kilometers and let you know via e-mail soon. Roughly it should be shortly after 4 July. We have just decided not to go to Spain. The weather is getting hot there, and we have not been making the daily distance we thought we would originally. So we will approach you from Toulouse.<br /><br />Love to allDave and Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367299165355402867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290296686310388012.post-72628486598614112932011-06-22T13:57:24.095-07:002011-06-22T13:57:24.095-07:00Hello friends,

I am keen on vacuum-packed German bread.<br />As for your route (clever choice!), I think you should have fine weather near Mediterranean Sea. Just be careful with drivers in South East of France. They sometimes confuse quiet roads and Monaco formula 1 Grand Prix.<br />As four later in your trip, what week approximately do you think to be in our area? We want to be in Jurançon to receive you. (At that time we know that we won't be at home only on July 2nd and 3rd).<br />Just some words more: amazing journey and beautiful travelogue.Bernard Menouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990309749936870115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290296686310388012.post-13757301119323654722011-06-21T11:19:39.124-07:002011-06-21T11:19:39.124-07:00what a trip...it justs better and better every da...what a trip...it justs better and better every day and i thought the first few days were great...amazing,just amazing.annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290296686310388012.post-33677808809475381132011-06-21T07:23:18.923-07:002011-06-21T07:23:18.923-07:00Well...Thanks Diana, and please give Sonya my very...Well...Thanks Diana, and please give Sonya my very best wishes for a happy retirement! Say howdy to all the guys and tell Larry I'm checking out trellis systems everywhere.<br /><br />The funny thing about food is that so far we've been eating mostly Italian in France and the French are doing it well! The first night in France, due to circumstances, we ate pizza (with chorizo on it). The next night we did have roast duck, and it was very good. The following night we were camping and there was no restaurant in the tiny village so we ate out of our lunch supplies, salami, cheese, and bread. last night our host prepared us a dinner which featured spaghetti with a wonderful red meat sauce.Dave and Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367299165355402867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290296686310388012.post-60884616365073581802011-06-21T05:00:27.738-07:002011-06-21T05:00:27.738-07:00You certainly picked a beautiful route.

Although you haven't said much about food, I've been inspired to prepare French onion soup, Gratin de Poisson, Ratatouille...so many choices.<br /><br />(Side note: Sonya is retiring in August and there is a special lunch for her next week. We'll miss you Dave!)Diananoreply@blogger.com
