We got acquainted and talked about

We also shared old family stories and laughed a lot.
Next Zoom will be in December or January.

It’s Friday and we are ready to go to Chalabre and Esperáza to visit friends.
It’s windy and raining very hard.
John tries to call a taxi, but can’t get through, so
we need to take the bus to take us to the airport for the car rental.
We miss both buses to the airport so we have to wait another hour
for the next airport bus.
 |
| In Starbucks for the hour wait for the airport bus |
We are 45 minutes late for our car pick up,
we get our car.
After we sit in the car and try to figure out
how to use the GPS.
We play around with it for about 15 minutes
and decide to use my phone.
We are off only 1.5 later than we expected.
It’s still raining and we are on the roads
of Southern France toward our destination
of Chalabre - 3.5 hours away.

Gonna rest well tonite.

Next week…
Chalabre weekend
And more adventures in Pau!
So we are still tired. Arrived in Hawaii 4 days ago. Made Lentil Soup. With nasn. New recipe. We both were surprised at how good it was. I already was asleep but forced myself to take a quick shower and said, let's see how John and Susie are doing. Love some of the pictures of ur car trip. Laughed at the misses to get the car because it reminded me of our 16 hrs at LAX b4 we could get to Hawaii. On our second day here, our son had stopped by and spontaneously said "I like having you here."
