Planning Our Trip - II

On April 23 Lauri will fly from Memphis to Marseille to join us for a few days. She will arrive in Marseille on Sunday, April 24. Pierre and Simone are going to meet Lauri at the airport and bring her to Brantes. Pierre was in graduate school at the University of Texas (Austin) when I was there, and it will be good to renew our friendship and meet his wife.

We don't have set plans as far as when to see what, but we have been reading up on the attractions available. Lauri will fly back to Memphis on May 3. She will change plans at Amsterdam (Schiphol) both when she comes and when she leaves.

We will have a long drive on Saturday, May 7, when we go from Brantes to Montignac which is in the southwestern part of France. I've planned our route to take us over the world's highest bridge at Millau. This bridge just opened this year.


In the Montignac area we plan to visit some prehistoric cave paining sites, a castle and several small, medieval villages. There is also a "living history museum" type attraction that I believe will be interesting. And several gardens and other attractions.

Along the way during the 35 day trip I hope to find a few computers that I will be able to use to post to this site and keep up with e-mail.
