Had a short 3 hour drive into Toulon yesterday and met our friends Marlene qnd Patrick.
They gave us a very warm welcome with champagne and a great bbq.
They have a beautiful poool and the boys were swimming all morning, Had lunch of delicious fish on the patio in the shaden listening to the cicadas. They are loud!!!
Right now Richard is off to the beach with the boys and Patrick. Marlene and I will enjoy the quiet of the house and will swim and read. It is heavan.

Greetings Richard and Fam! It looks like you all are having a great time. I’ve never been out of the country but I told my wife that if we ever do it’ll be an official European Vacation. I’m enjoying reading about all of the great places you’ve been. Like Richard, I would have enjoyed going to all of the castles and forts that have had a battle or war waged at it. Have fun!
