Re: Jean Luc left a message for me

Hi Jack,

I'm flying the 8th from Schiphol for Thailand late in the afternoon, so if you are in the Amsterdam area in the morning or early afternoon we still could meet. I need to leave home (in Limmen) at 15:45 to ensure I'm in time boarded...

Have a look here: http://www.schoolhistory.co.uk/lessons/castles/http://www.schoolhistory.co.uk/lessons/castles/ for a small course on getting into castles...

regards,
Rob.

Re: Versailles Palace

Hi Jack,
Just as I did with your U.S. trip, I have been following your European tour... it's been outstanding! I congratulate your ambition, desire, and ability to live life to the fullest. My family and I took a vacation to Paris and Italy this past August and also went to Versailles. As you know, it really is incredible! I was hoping our paths might cross in Paris since my home was a little too far south in Florida for your journey when you were wrapping up the U.S. trip. I guess we'll just have to say hello when we take a vacation to Maine in the future (got guest accommodations for 4? ). Anyway, continue to enjoy the sights, sounds, weather, culture, and food & wine that Paris has to offer... It's now our favorite city outside the U.S.!! By the way, I love your photo of the Vette in front of the palace . My guess is that your car will be the only Corvette that you will see on the roads of Paris - new or old. I attached a few of our photos from our time at Versailles.

Bon jour,
Roger

I am in Bayeux tonight

I was a bit emotional after Normandy beaches and thought it best to stop driving for the day. Wonderful old city with a rich French history.


Posts later tonight.

Corvette Club de France

I was guest of honor at a Corvette Club of France Rallye in Brittany last weekend. More than 50 Corvettes and over 100 people enjoyed a wonderful weekend along the Brittany coast. We started in Erguy and visited a few castles and old cities . Cap Frehel light house, Fort la Latte and Dinard et Saint-Malo and the old city of Lanvallay.


I will make two posts as there are many pictures
