It’s the end of September…

 

It is now the end of our 12 months in Pau.

Six more days here in Pau, then we are on the plane to LAX.

A few highlights of the last weeks here in the South of France at the foothills of the Pyrenees.

The highlight of the month was the arrival of Anthony, who stayed for a full week.

A couple of hiccups in the flight(s) and he arrives 12 hours later than expected.

He arrives in Pau.

Happiness is Anthony💗

We will be applying for a renewable residency visa.  We have already secured this present apartment for January to March of 2026. So we know we will be returning whether or not we get the visa we want.

We just have a few more days to enjoy this apartment, the weather, the friends/neighbors here in Pau. 

I intend to make the most of it.

Au Revoir

For now…
