Back on track at last

---

Apologies everyone- we have had no internet for the last 9 days so no ability to upload our photos our post a blog entry! Our journey continues and Italy and now France are both amazingly beautiful countries that render surprises at every turn. We have been to Cabris with Michael's son Simon, wife Sophie and two girls Clara and Fleur. Now we have journeyed northward towards Paris, Borgoule, the western edge of the Loire Valley, to Fontainebleu an hour south of Paris. Tomorrow we say goodbye to our trusty car: after a luggage drop off in Paris. Nervous driver, but we should be ok. Wish us luck. Three days in Paris and then off to London. The home stretch!

Spigno Monferrato
Beautiful stonework: typical small town church

Medieval stone bridge: Zuccarello Italy
Could live here any day

The French/London family
Simon, Fleur, Clara and Sophie (left to right)

Foret Domaniale de l'Esterel
The French can always use too many words! Why not just call it Dromana or something simple

Same place looking inland
Amazing red rocks that lit up like Ayres rock (Uluru) does

Saint-Cezaire sur Siagne
Who knows what the river is called?

Mons
At last a simple name: beautiful hilltop medieval fort town

Mons: delightful signs to display occupations
The babysitter

Fortification
Creative slits for defending fortress

Mons at sunset
Can you guess that we were quite taken by this town

Simon in the roman aqueduct
Cut straight through the rock at this point, the aqueduct stretching all the way from the mountains hundreds of km to the coast (Frejus)

Rugged mountains: Gourdon at the top
Where we stopped for a visit, bought some lovely linen and picnicked on our way to the snow. Town famous for perfume making.

Rounded fort wall
Built on the natural rocks then the poor guys had to straighten the building

Cathedral and Clock tower:
Very distinct stonework
