Our only official newsletter [email] was from the early part of our trip to Belgium. A quick look back to bring one up to date.
We visited Gent, Brugge and Brussels while in Belgium for two weeks in May. Enjoyed everything but were a little disappointed in Brussels [I think Paris has spoiled us for most other large cities]. We went by high speed train to Paris where we stayed several days. Had good visits to several museums and a very good meal at a restaurant we went to last year.
Then to the barge, L'Heritage, for the month of June. We rented a car and went sightseeing for a few days before starting to move. Among other places, we went to the official head-waters of the Seine River [a spring coming out of a grotto]. Our friends, Bob and M.J., joined us for the last two weeks of June and we traveled to Dijon. The weather got warmer [but never too hot] and we traveled through 119 locks!!--luckily all managed by lock keepers.
We came from Dijon to Rouen where we have rented an apartment for two months while we go to school. The school is good and we are learning a lot of French---though we have no hope of learning it all.
