A Week in Vicq


As you can imagine, the French countryside is almost perfect. Rolling hills cover as far as you can see in any direction; fields filled with sheep, cows, and wild flowers covered the hills. Many a slug added to the vast array of nature as well.
We arrived on the 1st and headed straight to bed after a long day of trains.
We set up their trampoline, bounced, played in the nearby creek where a bottle was found and carefully washed. Enjoyed good food and company - even thought the house was chilly. We also adventured into the forest to discover a dead fox, a jaw bone from something, and a waterfall made almost completely from garbage! So what to do rather than climb up it and see if there was any treasures! There was of course (: We came back to the house soaked from rain and ready for warmth.
So though it was quite the chilly week at most times we enjoyed daily hot coffee breaks and a warm fire, as well as nice company. Much of the week was spent walking, looking at old things in the markets, starting fires (in the fireplace), and just enjoying beautiful France and a super fun family.
To be continued....
