We are a retired American couple traveling for a year with our small terrier mix, LuLu. Sam retired from his architecture career and Donna retired from 35 years of teaching special education students at the primary level. This is our gap year! The house is packed up and rented out and our son and daughter-in-law do not have children yet, so we are as free as can be. Donna's dream has been to live in France, and Sam is making it come true! We are traveling in Central Europe and Scandinavia for 3 months before heading to Provence for a 5 month stay. View all posts by 510donna
LuLu's Outta Town 
How wonderful to hear from you!
Hope you are having an even more awesome time without the internet, although I know it’s crazy making.
Love the history and the pics – miss you at book club.

Really enjoyed that historical panorama of the layers of history in St. Remy and environs. // You mentioned Auvers Sur Oise in passing when discussing Van Gogh. I’ve been there because my friend’s great grandfather, an American from Michigan, lived there as part of the artists’ colony for a while. We saw Van Gogh’s room & sadly, his gravesite. // Sounds like you’re continuing to enjoy your marvelous vacation.

Donna, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed your news with all the quasi familiar pictures of St. Remy…😁. I forwarded your email to my old friend, Jean, in Houston since she was the person I went to St Remy with in 2003. Below is a photo just now from my office…. I am so glad you, Sam and Lulu are enjoying it as well. Bisous, Dorothy

Donna & Sam, We’re happy to know that your internet situation will soon be (or perhaps already has been) resolved..What a wonderful town you chose for your sojourn in France. I wish there were reason to believe the House will have impeached and the Senate convicted Trump before you get home but I’m afraid there’s not a chance of the second part happening. Stay in France through the 2020 election?
Happy Thanksgiving to you both.
