Dire adieu-saying Goodbye

July 8, 2008

The worst part about leaving is saying Goodbye.
As you enter each town or village there is a sign with the name of the village on it, but when you leave there is also a sign with the name on it and a large red slash through letting you know you are no longer in that village. Even though we will no longer physically be in Bourron Marlotte, our hearts will never leave.

Our darling neighbors across the street. Famille Meynier, Virginie, Jean-Phillipe holding Elliott,
Clara and Louise.

We will miss you!! They were so kind and helpful to us.
Clara just loved Jesse and they made a cute connection.

Famille Nidriche-Many, many tears saying goodbye to this wonderful family.
We hope that our relationship will last forever.
How we loved our quaint little village. So many beautiful homes and things to see. I just couldn't take enough pictures of all the homes. I have posted pictures of these before, but I just couldn't resist my favorites again. These will be the ones I see in my dreams.

We let the children pick how they wanted to spend their last night in France. They all voted on the Bistro, the local restaurant right in Bourron Marlotte. The food is delicious and the people have always been so nice.

Sophie with her escargot. She put it in, chewed it gave it a "hmm good" and then spit it out.

The rest of us found it to be delicious.
Well, not quite all the rest of us.
Happy as a clam- oh, I mean snail.
The restaurant owner took the photo for us, and before she did she asked us several times if all the children were ours. We answered every time with a Oui-yes, and then she gives Mark the "Oh, la la".
Our mouths will forever water for the taste of the delicious French food we were so spoiled with.

I think that just means many return trips.
