Drive in the France Countryside
Off to the Southwest down the A-10 route we drove toward the town of Saumur. This time its holiday time in France and the road is packed with campers and cars loaded to the brim with camping equipment. The wildflowers are still blooming on the sides of the road and the high today is to be about 70 degrees.
Lots of sunflower fields. The flowers all face one direction - that is the direction in which the sun shines on the them most of the day. The two-story McDonald along the way is packed with cars. They do a good business here. Returned home about 9pm to enjoy left overs and Saumur Brute (a champagne, but they can’t call it that because it doesn’t come from the “champagne” part of the country).

Day Trip to Reims
Drove to Reims - champagne country. Saw the construction of Euro Disney which is scheduled to open Spring ‘92. Visited the Cathedral and the Caves of the Tattinger Champagne makers in Reims.
The caves were built by Monks in the 400 Century A.D. Absolutely magnificent sight to see. We drove back on a back road, taking the scenic route, walked into some vineyards and discovered lots of small towns we would like to re-visit.
Editor’s Notes
Georgia would later take her grandson, Bryan, to Euro Disney on a summer visit. The images below are from their day trip to Reims on June 15, 1991.
