Planning - Part 4
This was a test and it worked!
However, of course this is Hannah and Rachel, not on the coast of France, but in La Jolla in 2006.
Planning - Part 3
I am really looking forward to our next trip to France.
We land in Paris in the morning and we have to decide for sure if we are going to take a train to Rennes and rent a car there, or if it is best to just rent the care in Paris and drive to Dinan. I'm a little worried about all that driving after such a long flight, but Joel is sure all will be well.
The place in Dinan sounds and looks so interesting.
It will be fun to be able to just walk out the door and down a cobblestoned street to the town center and then down to the river Rance. From the port there you can take a boat to St. Malo....and from St. Malo there are many other charters out into the ocean. What a great day that will be!
