Little S and I are home after a whirlwind tour of some various parts of France. The first few days were spent outside of Macon in the lovely Burgundian countryside visiting my friend (Lala's mom*), Dee. She has a new apartment which is actually very cute despite her complaints about missing her little house with the blue shutters. These pictures are the views from her windows and some pictures of the cute village just outside her front door. It's always beautiful in Burgundy, even when the skies are rainy and overcast.
We took a little walk and then took our picnic into the vineyards across the street from Dee's place. Little S loved seeing all the funny, tall tractors shaped like giant U's. When I said "oh look at the tractor!" he just looked at me like "whoa, that is so NOT a tractor. Who do you think you're talking to here lady?" I finally had to explain to him that the tractors have to drive between the vines so they have to be tall like that to protect the plants. He seemed to accept that.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Dee. I think we were too preoccupied with cows the day we took off on foot all together. I must have twenty shots of these damn cows. They just would not pose correctly and they kept stampeding in all directions. Check out that cow in the first photo sticking her tounge out at me. "You won't get a good shot here lady and the rain is coming, nya, nya, nya!" Apparently they do have a sense of humor.
So that was our first stop on our tour. Our second stop was Normandie chez mamie & papi's. I'll post about that tomorrow.
* Lala is what Little S calls Dee's English Setter, Ella.
