Sunday - Monday, June 14 - 15

Finished Mass at the usual time this morning and headed down the road in the rain to the airport. With Ann's help made it there in plenty of time. The flights were all on time, in fact after waiting a couple hours in St Louis, it was fly to Detroit, rush to make the connection, fly to Paris, rush through Charles de Gaul airport, I'm sure it was more than a mile hike! And finally fly to Nice
France, for a good eighteen hour trip, but arriving more than a day later with only the sleep you can get on the plane. But thankfully without a problem, and my luggage also. So it is already Monday, I rented a car there and headed up the Alps. The turning school is located in a very beautiful place in the mountains, near a fantastic canyon.so it was a very beautiful drive and I didn't seem to have any trouble finding the route, but I stopped often to admire the scenery, and check the map.
So I'm here, getting settled in, meeting the others who will be in the class and around, and waiting for some supper, so I can get to bed and be ready for tomorrow.
