Memories of France

I visited many parts of France, thanks to a friend, Anne, who lived in Pleudiry in rural France. We visited Mt. St. Michel with her, and the surrounding areas including Rennes. She also came to visit us in India when I worked at Harihar. Also remember going to Hampi and Pondicherry with her. Some pics of both her visit to India and ours to France-







European Odyssey

Scary French God/Devil.

This was a memorable trip that took us to rural France where a friend, Anne lived. Her mom is an artist, and we were able to see some of her paintings. Rennes, Dinan and a few other spots were visited with Anne. Mont St. Michel too, by the sea. Speaking of seas, the Greek odyssey saw us take a ferry from Brindisi to Patras via Corfu, which I had read about in Gerald Durrell's book My Family and Other Animals- a great book.
The colour of the sea in Greece is a lovely deep blue. Poseidon, Athena and a few other Gods and Goddesses came to life at various spots in Greece. Lively and quarrelsome people, chaotic just like us Indians.
