Yesterday we rented a convertible clown car and drove over 300k to a village outside of Poitiers to visit a friend of Kevin's family. Most of the trip was on the A10 (holy expensive tolls!) passing all of the tantalizing signs for the sights of the Loire Valley before entering into Poitou-Charentes. Sister/Mother Mary-Jean is a nun who lives in France and was visiting her sister and family on their estate. The family was lovely and welcoming and the house was absolutely beautiful. Kevin was able to bring messages of love from his Mom to Sister Mary-Jean and taped a video message. I know this means a lot to them and I was lucky to be a part of it.
We were also able to stop at Villandry, my favorite gardens

There were fields of sunflowers everywhere -- miles upon miles
