stephmodo: Rain, Rain Go Away

Rain, Rain Go Away

• 22 August 2008

We woke up to rain this particular morning. Our spirits fell...just a little. Time for plan B: head to the local market (only on Mondays) and jump from one vendor (and one umbrella) to another and hope for a small bit o' sunshine.

Lucky for us the rain subsided for an hour or two so we hopped on the river boat next to the market and enjoyed a hour's worth of chateau-hunting and discovering.

P.S. This is the river depicted in the lovely film Chocolat (with Juliette Binoche & Johnny Depp); if you haven't seen it, do so. But make sure you have a stash delicious chocolate nearby. It's going to make you very hungry...

  5. My grandchildren the world travelers! How are they doing speaking French to the natives? Have you had any compliments on their French? I brag about them to my FL teacher friends!

  6. Oh my word, that last photo looks like a painting! I guess that's why painters liked to paint in France. Wow, just gorgeous. What a fabulous trip you're having! Loving your posts.

  7. Very beautiful!

    I've watched the movie, but I don't remember the scene of the river. Now I want to watch it again to check the river.
