Reflections on being home

1. Hot and humid. Blech. Why don't we live in France?
2. Ambien rocks. Dan and I both slept until about 4 AM.
3. As a kind of "the world makes no sense" thing, I gained not one pound during this trip, and Dan lost one. How is that possible? We ate what we wanted - mostly bread, butter, and cheese; we took whole milk or cream in our coffee and drank wine at lunch and dinner with an aperatif in the evening and sometimes a nightcap (digestive) after dinner; we did not do the elliptical or weight lifting or crunches. Why don't we live in France?
4. Work? What work?
5. Drought + record-breaking heat = sad garden plants.
6. No pistachio soft-serve ice cream machines.

I guess this it my (Vicki's) last posting... Dan has been uploading all of his photos to a flickr (I think) account and will share those when completed. He took some amazing shots.

Thanks for following us on our trip of a lifetime! Happy 30th to us.
