Vernal Update

On March 13th we closed out our abodes in Menlo Park, bid fond farewells to Penelope, Rebecca, and Jeremy, and jetted to DC for a 4-day visit with Rachel and Will and their new home on notorious Hanover Place, NW. They've done a great job with the remodeling. After repacking, etc., we bid them fond farewells, and jetted first to Munich and then Toulouse, where we picked up our camper and enjoyed the fine hospitality of Jane and Gordon for a few more days. Presently, we are in Auch, picking up where we left off last August. We'll spend a few more days in France, repairing, refitting, readjusting, and then will head down to Spain, Barcelona, Madrid, then the north coast and more tapas. Then back through France to Cherbourg or Calais and the boat ride to the UK of GB and 3 Schengen-free months there. Including the Edinburgh Festival, High Claire castle, and a visit from Rebecca and Penelope. Then back through France and the Alps to Italy, a couple months there, closing out and returning to the US of A on or about November 19. The camper will be available for sale/delivery then. That's the detailed plan, anyhow. We hope all is well with family and friends.
