A Bientôt Y'All!

I'll be catching my flight out of Toulouse at 6am tomorrow morning, but leaving in the middle of the night tonight to get there on time to be there for the 2 hours ahead check-in time.  My friend Rob is here from England, to hold down the fort and take good care of Dal and Sam for me.  We ran a few errands earlier today and were able to head up to the Belgian Cross and Saut de la Mounine for some great photos.  This evening, Jean will be having dinner for us before we head to Toulouse. We try to feed each other before we head off on long journeys.  Last year Jean had the  whole French contingent up before we headed to the states.  She told me that feeding friends before they departed for journeys or left ports, was a tradition during the years that she and Roy were living on the boat.  So, we've adopted it here!  I won't be writing while I'm in the states.  The itinerary is growing with each passing day, and computer access is limited at my parents.  (I'm chuckling, it doesn't exist at my parent's house.)  So, writing will require an internet cafe or visiting someone with a computer. It's time to take a break.  I'm heading out shortly to walk around the village and tell my friends a bientôt.  I wanted to leave you today with a few photos.  I'll be missing my morning sunshine from the terrace while I'm gone.  I fell in love with the lone house and the line of three trees from Saut de la Mounine this morning, and if you look in the bottom left hand corner of the aerial taken from the Belgian Cross, you'll see a white road marker that marks the spot in my heart where the Chatette disappears as I round the bend to the bus.  I won't be on the bus this evening, but I can promise you that the ritual corner stone kissing and tunnel wandering will occur as usual.  I'll be back at the Chatette on Tuesday, May 26! I'm off and...A Bientôt Y'All!
