Today was a holiday in France and the kids are already on a 2-week holiday and Desney has taken this week off (mostly to work on the house).
We therefore decided to jump in the car and get out of town and get outside. Last night we argued back and forth for a long time to decide between Rambouillet with it's forest and farm or Fontainebleau with it's castle and forest.
In the end we chose Fontainebleau. We were very lucky with the whole day. Although we left a bit late, and it was of course a holiday, there was no traffic on the roads and we were at the Fontainebleau tourist office within an hour. We then went to the castle and walked through their museum for a couple of hours. Lunch in a tourist café was disappointing. Back to the tourist office for information as regards the forest and we found out about a sentier balisé which goes in a loop through the forest and rocks. A 5-minute drive later and we were at the entrance to the sentier and spent about an hour and a half walking up and down and up and down through the rocks and trees with beautiful weather above us. A great time was had by all...
Back to the car and back to home, again really lucky with the traffic, and back to our habits and chores.
This started out as a test in January 2005. A bit of exploring finding out how blogs worked by actually creating one. Then, in September 2005, I was diagnosed with tonsil cancer and this became the most useful communication tool I have. I still write mostly for myself and to express myself. But also to be able to go back and watch the evolution and changes I've been through.
I'm not a cancer victim. Every day I wake up and get on with the rest of my life I'm a cancer survivor!
