Made it to Bertlinde's house without major problems but may have a lovely parking fine coming in the mail due to parking (illegally ?) In Lyon for the art market. We enjoyed some lovely cathedrals, a priory, and châteaus near Bertlinde's and went to see her home in the South. I need to learn some French cooking tips ...but would most likely gain too much weight. We've arrived at Interlaken after going a bit off the beaten path. Beautiful flowers, mountains, and we love the sound of cow bells.

Hello from Caen, so far the trip has gone well...but knowing a bit of.basic French would help quite a bit. Touring Omaha beach and American cemetary tomorrow. Will prove to be very interesting. Enjoyed London... much easier to navigate...perhaps because language was not a big factor? Hoping to make our remaining connections to Bert ok. Perhaps this will lead to more stories.
