Last day in the French countryside


Running behind on my posts and typing this in Boston. We are having so much fun it's hard to stop and type a post. 
Chartreuse! Got a tour of how they make it. Very cool!


Tasting room!


Our last night in Voiron...an amazing restaurant. 


Frog legs...my first time eating them. I loved them! 

Helen shared her very special and very delicious walnut wine with me on the last night. It had a taste that I can't describe, it was a special treat and a nice way to end this leg of the trip. We had a great time with family and friends!!!

Day trip part two!

Got to spend an hour in a huge cave system! It was very cool!









Day trip!

Helen's friend Gil took a day off work to drive us around and show us the sights. We had a great day hanging with him and Helen. 




Indian Forest Chartreuse

Got to hang out and spend the night with the Choudin family. First a dip in the pool then drinks. They treated us like family and made us a great meal! Next morning we were off to the ropes course! 






Maxim was my guide on the ropes course. He was fearless and fast! I had a blast and after 2 hours was beat. 

Cecil took us up in the mountains for a spectacular view.

Florence

It's a great city but we felt like we were being slow roasted. We ventured out in the mornings, hung out in the AC from 2-6 then went back out again. We ate a ton of pasta and a lot of pizza. Saw a lot of really great art, architecture a d sculptures.
