My Neighbor in the Lot

I made it! I'm here at Laury's after a long trip...none the worse for the wear actually. I had a minor adventure with a non-working left engine on my plane in Frankfurt. Luckily, it was discovered as the pilot ran the engines up for a power check before take-off. But unluckily, it took forever to get us all on another plane. This made my arrival in Toulouse right at rush hour, so I got to deal with massive traffic jams. Once out of the city, however, all went smoothly, and I arrived at Laury's much later than expected, but all in one piece...whew! I took this photo from Laury's terrace this morning looking up at my neighbor for the next month, the Chateau. I awoke to a quacking duck on the river which is right outside my window and the peeling of church bells from a nearby village. I'm all settled in, and we've already had a walk around the village and coffee with her friend, Jean. This is going to be fun! Come back soon for more adventures from the Lot...
