Duane Turns 70! This requires a trip to France - At the very least!!

Duane turns 70 and stated, "There is no reason whatsoever not to spend part of the year in France." While we have been to France numerous times we have always raced around like banshees from palace to cathedral to market to  museum to vineyard with nary a moment to simply sit and watch France go by. This year will be different. Ha! Duane has promised Paula to just sit and soak up the French culture. Duane promised. To begin with we will spend 3 glorious days in Amsterdam so Duane can see the Van Gogh Museum and Vincent's masterpieces one more time before his (Duane's) powers of observation wane. We will then travel to Paris for one entire uninterrupted month of Paris. Now, I know you're saying, "Haven't you already been to Paris?" Of course, 5 times, but never for more than a few days and always on the run. This year we plan to take entire days just to find the best baguette in the 3rd Arrondissement. The next day will be spent in a Fromagerie selecting Camembert. After that who knows. that is why we write the Blog. Stay tuned.
