France in the Spring!

Note: I have been remiss in the past few years with keeping up with blogging about my travels. I go off on tangents and make presentations, digital photo albums and other stuff. I'm now back to blogging and hope I can share my travels with whoever wants to listen. I have published older travel videos in a power point view format in the links prior to this one. Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------

BONJOUR! It seems the Covid pandemic is fading so I'm back on the road whenever I can find the funds and paid time off from work.  This time I'm headed to France! Starting in Paris and spending a few days soaking up the city vibe. I'm going to lounge in the park under the Eiffel tower; sip on good wine and gaze at the steel wonder like so many others have done before me. My headsets will be tuned to French accordion music so I can feel even more immersed. I'm staying near the Luxembourg gardens where I will get lost viewing the impressive blooms and visualize couples walking dressed as if it was the 1800's. I always try to imagine what it was like many years ago wherever I go in Europe. It's part of the experience that I enjoy. 

Once I have consumed plenty of Parisian cuisine I will drift off to sleep with visions of country villages and be ready for the next part of my journey; Bordeaux. Not one mile of the countryside will be missed with my face pressed against the window allowing my mind to take 100's of mini snapshots to enjoy later. My plan is to sit in village cafes, watch people and listen to locals speak the language of love.   

After a few days in Bordeaux I'll wander over to Bergerac where I will meet up with a new friend. She will show me her home and share her insights on the area. My final destination is Sarlat. So many people have said that it is a must see. From Sarlat I will take the TGV back up to Paris to make certain I have my pockets full of memories to take home and enjoy. I'm no 'spring chicken' so I'm going to take it slow and embrace each moment.  I will post a blog on each area I visit. This will help you visit virtually and also help me remember.
