The French Finale - Almost

Today is Friday and our final day to play. We traveled from Argens back to Homps and found a slip for our boat. We went into the little town to discover the local sights. Judging by the looks of most of the buildings and, having seen quite a bit of this country's architecture, this is a well-preserved medieval town.








We know for a fact it's been around since the 7th century because we found St. Stephen's church dating back to that era. We also found the ruins of Chateau Knights of the Maltese Cross. Along with these old places we walked along cobble-stoned streets; some lined with apartments and businesses. There are some cute cafes lining the banks of the river; one which will be our dinner destination.







We found a local marche and purchased some lunch meat, baguette, and souvenirs (all in one store!). Then we found another store where they sell wine and gourmet foods. We all bought gifts to take home; hopefully, TSA won't have a problem with what we're trying to bring with us.

Our dinner reservation is for 7:30 this evening. It is 5:18 PM here and some are reading, some are napping, Kath is doing crossword puzzles, and me... I'm happy to be sending you a snippet of our journey.

Tomorrow we leave for the airport at 8:00 AM. Tour de France 2011 is about to come to an end. It has been a major success; most of our trip went rather smoothly which is remarkable considering the size of our group. However, none of this was by luck. We have been talking about and planning this trip for almost a year. Julieanne, Susan and Linda researched Prague and it's glorious sights. Kathy, Amelia and Karen led us through Paris and the canal as if they've lived here all their lives. My hat off to all and a deep sense of gratitude.

It has been my absolute pleasure and honor to bring you some of our most memorable moments. Thank you for clicking in and following the adventures of these 7 Broads Abroad. Stay tuned - who the heck knows where we'll go next.






Au revoir!
