July 12
Today is the last full day in France, for anyone in our family, in this incredible 11 month journey.
The guys packed up, returned the rental car, and headed to Paris via the train. We have enjoyed riding European trains, except the one in April from Paris to Lourdes….who remembers reading about us sitting in the luggage rack for 3 hours? This trip Cody decided he wanted to learn to read. Luckily Zach was a patient teacher.
Back in the states, Mazie met up with her neighborhood friends for lunch as we drove to camp.
The guys grabbed dinner and settled in for the night in Paris. The next day they were on a plane homeward bound.
Randy may not have been thinking of this song by Simon and Garfunkel as he left France, but it came to mind as I typed about the day.
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought’s escapin’, Home where my music’s playin’, Home where my love lies waitin’ Silently for me
