Goodby to Baons Le Comte, Normandy!

The small village where Simone and France live - Baons Le Comte - has about 350 inhabitants. I was surprised that the little church there is from the 12th century! The house that has "Le Country" on it is now a private house but used to be a country western bar and dance place. France is the one who designed ans set up the great entry to the town - the flowers and train.

Sylvie and I took the late train and got into Paris around 10:30 pm. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday  continued to be days full of incredible food - often cooked on the big fireplace and new towns to see. On Wednesday Pascal and Sylvie took me to nearby Caudebec on the Seine as it nears the sea, with an enormous bridge. Sylvie remember having to take the ferry (or bac) here before the bridge was built. The ferry is the red boat in the pictures just in front of the bridge. On Thursday we visited Le Tréport, a port and vacation place on the way to Calais with huge white cliffs that sported a funicular and a large luxury hotel on top from the early 1900's. it seems the cliffs were not so solid so the hotel is no longer there.

My other big adventure was getting my hair done at a hair salon in Yvetot. I panicked when they presented me with books of cuts but somehow got across that I just wanted it evenly shortened - not a new style. I'm not ready for that type of adventures!
