Lees in France

27-29 September

A couple of days before friends came an airplane ran off the runway, nose diving slightly into the water. The report stated it could take 2 months to reopen the airport. 2 MONTHS!?!? Well, it took 2 days. We are a great place to recover from jet lag. We have activities, food and a warm bed. What a wonderful time with Anne and Kristi. After getting them from the late morning train, we headed for a bakery. Much to my lack of where I was in France, I took them to a convenience store for their first taste of French pastries…thanks Google!#@! 

Walking the Mediterranean Sea looking for shells was the right medicine for weary travelers. It just happened that all three of us woke up in different places on Earth and picked the same shirt color.

Next day adventures lead to exploring a morning walk to the bakery and parking by a Roman aquaduct while visiting Montpellier City central. We shopped, ate, and even bumped into a new friend from church. We were able to visit her apartment in the heart of the city. All of their visitors get a polaroid taken and they decorate one of their walls with them. We made the wall!

Later we hike to a ruined castle located on a VERY steep hill. We enjoyed a French picnic inside the castle. This time we made it back to the car before dark.

Oh we even saw a dragon at the castle! A snapdragon is still a dragon to us.

The kids commented, “It is nice to hear so much English!” It was nice to have friends experience our life here for a few days as well.
