Monday - Friday, August 2nd
Put to use the running paths in the gardens of the Castle as we rean/walked distrances each evening (weather permitting). Dinner guest on Friday - Michael Watson, technician at InterVoice, Europe. Our subscription to USA Today began delivery.
Saturday, August 3, 1991
Late to walking again. After today’s brunch and the thrill of reading an English paper, David enjoyed a round of golf on a beautiful golf course near St. Germain with a neighbor of ours and I spent the afternoon packing for our trip to the “Good Ole USA”.
Dinner tonight at “La Table St. Germain” restaurant (Chinese, Vietnamese, Taiwan food), with David’s golf partner and wife, Ray and Maura Beard. Maura is from Ireland and 4 months pregnant with their first child and Ray is from London.
They moved here from Singapore a year ago and speak French. Very enjoyable evening of being with new found friends.

American Store and Fire Ants
A lot less people in Church today due to the Summer months and vacations. Returned to the “American Store” and returned my half full box of crackers in exchange for a full one. Ventured to the Concorde and Louve area to find lots of tourists and tour busses [sic] a plenty (even saw busses [sic] from Czechoslovakia).
Back to St. Germain and a walk to our Castle in the city and the beautiful park grounds surrounding it. Amazingly, no fire ants or flies in this country.
Editor’s Notes
I have been short on adding photos to the posts, sorry. Here is a photo of David at the church yesterday (Saturday, July 20, 1991) and the caption reads:

Georgia took several photos on their quick road trip from Saturday and I will try to post a few of them at a time. You may also notice that I redesigned the site. This is an ongoing process and soon I will have some images of Georgia at the top instead of my face staring back at you. I am trying to give this blog a look and feel of Georgia, it just takes some time.
They have some interesting trips coming up, but I am trying not to read to far ahead. Right now I am reading right along with you, but flipping through the journal I see some trips to Spain and back to the U.S. as well.

Bargain Hunting in St. Germain
Strolled down the streets of St. Germain today looking for bargains?? In our city we have “little green men” we call them. Actually they are city workers in green uniforms, cleaning dog dirt, raking leaves, etc. from streets and alley ways every day. Really a clean country.
There was a market going on and I did manage to get some great potatoes for baking. Since we totally forgot our Sam’s hashbrowns at home, we bake our potatoes the night before and dry them as hashbrowns the next day. Now we must concentrate on buying a vacuum cleaner, flower boxes and plants and curtains. More shopping tonight.
