... love it. Laurent would not be caught dead there. Sounds a little like our house.<br><br>When we returned everyone was home and it was supper time. Laurent and Alexis had assembled a cassoulet under Catherine&#8217;s direction the day before. Since this is a dish indigenous to southwest France, we had a southwestern French red wine for dinner. There was also salad and bread and cheese. The cassoulet looked a little like an apple crisp coming out ...

... out of the corn** of my eye that she had should**-length red hair and was wearing a tight-ish white tank top. <br><br>I didn't really think anything of it, nor have a reason to really look at h** prop**ly until I realised she had really bad BO, that you would normally only smell coming from some kind of smelly man. Wond**ing what kind of woman would make such a stench, I looked ov** at h** only to find that she was a really creepy ...

Don&#8217;t have an expectation that everyone should be able to understand and speak English.<br><br ...

... couple bars and played "The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" five times on the jukebox and we sang every word like it was 1865. We became the hit of the party after asking the bartender to turn it up and to put on the Yankees-Red Sox Game. <br>We hit the road early in the morning and knew we were going to have a good day when we read signs that said we were entering "Goochland". Next stop...Western Virginia.

... to change, pack up and head out!<br><br>We were finally on the bike and headed south towards Cary, North Carolina to visit Luba&#8217;s family at about 12pm. <br><br>The ride south was very pleasant. I really enjoy riding on small highways with really tall trees along both sides of the highway. It just seems like a much more peaceful ride. It&#8217;s so much different from the west coast riding where there a lot of open space.

From Austin, we went back to Virginia to spend a couple more weeks with my mom and Chuck. It was great getting to bookend our trip by spending time with them. Winter was snowy and pretty, then spring was beautiful. We went camping in Virginia, then took a quick trip to Florida (by quick I mean a 13-hour drive followed by an identical return trip a couple of days later). Camping was fun. We made smores. My mom and Lindsey love them some chocolate. <br><br>We ...

... in an office park in Richmond. We met Todd and Kate there and had a great time with Yosi, Pasha, Todd's employee and friend who was in town from Moscow, and assorted other characters including Keith the guy who works for the Federal Reserve. I'm still unsure as to who paid--so many people falling all over themselves to pay for our lunches, but anyway we were exquisitely well taken care of. Sadly, we had to shove ...

... a few of these gatherings but finally found a bar full of Salvadoran dudes. Actually we saw these two lads on the street and Ryan asked them where the chicas hang out. They asked Ryan if he knew William (a guy who told Ryan on the internet that he was going to show us all a big time in Ahuachapan but who never showed.) These guys were William's friends and they partied with us at the bar of dudes. Edie was the only lass. The lads told us that all the ...
