Pinch me... wait... don't.

We are living in a place out of a dream -- literally. We are staying at L'Orangerie -- a charming place in Burgundy (Moroges to be exact) that is out of this world. Today we went to a castle and also met a prince (for real). The prince and his partner are restoring the family chateau and need a little help in the garden -- so it's very possible I will be doing an exchange here next summer (quite seriously) as they have a lot of restoration to do.

I would love to write more about what we have seen and done in the past few days, but there is a queue (line) of people waiting at this internet cafe -- and Mr. Smoky in front of me is hogging the only other computer. I will say that I ate 5 -- count 'em -- FIVE sweets the other day!!! and The TOUR DE FRANCE is comin' our way -- we may even see it!!! Anyway, the Travelgals are all safe and well.

Much love,
Amy

T,

Sounds like all of you are having a fabulous time with many adventures. Meeting many new people "algerians?" Remember you need to marry close to home.

Mom , Greg and I are currently are in the hills of Corona, Calif. at his living room table playing Scrabble. And, of course your mom knows more words that WEBSTER. It's her spelling I worry about.

The airplane ran fine on its way down here however it did develope a small oil leak. Off to Newport Beach tomorrow or La Verne not sure yet? Liz passed through here enroute to Alice and Dave's position for Amy's reception.

That our up date , have fun be safe and see you when you get back. Looking into the juicer.

love Dad, Mom and uncle Greg

Will you be needing any help with the gardening? Wishful thinking!
