Isn't This Inviting?

Here's a gratuitous shot from one of our vacations in the early 2000's. It's the terrace of the house we rented in Vouvray, near Tours. This was one of two trips to the Loire Valley that convinced us that we wanted to live here.

French lawn furniture.

It was early June of 2001. I spent a lot of time sitting here watching the French Open on television. I remember that it was hot. I'm hoping for a hot summer this year. I'm ready for winter to end now.

  3. I recognized the table and chairs from the photo, without reading the blog. But something seems missing from the photo.... oh, yes, where's the bottle of wine and 3 glasses?

    Verification word: pardis could go many ways there: paris, parties, paradise.....

  4. Those chairs don't look like they'd be very comfortable after a few minutes, much less a couple of hours.
