A (very vicarious) trip to France
My daughter is in France for the next five weeks learning about the cuisine of Gascony. She reports six hour lunches, a lot of duck entrees and appetizers, the freshest food she's ever tasted, dinners at 10 p.m., homemade aperitifs, and $6 bottles of excellent wine. She's fallen in love with it all. And I get to enjoy it vicariously via the internet and Skype (a clearer phone connection than I get locally.)

You have certainly cut expenses on this trip...even though I'm sure you would like to be there. Sounds like your daughter is having a once in a lifetime learning experience.
Great pictures. These will be wonderful references for your paintings...I'm jealous. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, MAN! I'm so jealous! What gorgeous shots--thanks for taking me vicariously, too! Good for her. I was in France some years ago, and this brings it all back. Isn't skype a marvelous thing?
Could she use some help with - sweeping, or doing her laundry or - - whatever!! I will Pay her!
What beautiful photos--it certainly makes one feel depressed about living in NJ!
What a truly wonderful experience for your daughter, your photos and paintings are so pretty, Kathy.
Envy is the word that comes to my mind ... wish I was there.
You have some wonderful photo's here.
Oh wow oh wow! These photos are just to die for! I hope to hear more about her trip.
