As the new Voie Verte is becoming a reality; I'm realizing that I am grieving the train all over again. It hadn't really hit me until I heard that the tracks will defintely be raised to lay the new path.
It got me thinking and looking back at photos, journals and old letters. This one is particularly fun, and I'd like to share it with you...

Bonsoir Mom and Dad-
Well, today's the day and it's been grand. I spent the morning on the terrasse polishing and waxing my table and chairs and I've found a brand new use for Q-Tips. While I was working the Quercy Rail came by close enough to touch and the conductor opened his window to wave and then hollered "Bonjour!" It was an "aha" moment!
