This morning dawned with blue, clear skies. Teresa made a wonderful spaghetti bolognese last night, so we slept with full stomachs (not that we've had empty ones sine we've been here...). Teresa, Reginald, and Gabi took Sandy, who had been here since Sunday, to Chemille for his train. Sandy is a corporate lawyer from Birmingham, who studied under Reginald at MUS. It was interesting to have among us a conservative lawyer who makes money representing firms like Monsanto. While they were there, Dan and I walked about 3 miles to and from the Abbaye Notre Dame des Gardes. We saw a deer, a hare, sheep, a goat, and a petite chien who barked just like an American dog.
After lunch, we went our separate nap ways, and afterward, we all seemed to be relaxing in our own ways: Gabi and Teresa at the pool, Dan at his ipad, me reading in a chair out back. As Gabi was bring us a show-and-tell of a frog that committed suicide in the pool, the cow parade to the barn began. Here is a video, along with commentary, discussion of the frog, and a description of how cows "moo" in the Czech Republic:
