June 8th Vizille France

 Finally a slow day. Nothing planned. I wake up rested from 8 hours of driving yesterday. Finally can organize my clothes and things down to one suitcase. Jessica has agreed to take the backpack with stuff on her plane when she goes to the USA for the baptism. 

Victory today was figuring out how to lock the doors of our AirB&B. Not that we felt unsafe last night because we couldn’t figure out how to lock them. And a shoutout goes to David and Mary Blinkoff for having those kind of locks in their home. Had to turn the handle all the way up and then turn the key. 

I shower and organize some more. Jessica invites is to breakfast at her place, which is just next door. Very convenient. While she is cooking a neighbor appears at her window bringing her things the lady no longer needed and thought Jessica could use.

The same window in normal times.  Very French.  That is Jessica’s garden outside.

Next a trip to Lidls (yes they are everywhere) to pick up supplies. Very different from the USA Lidls.

No need to refrigerate eggs.

Beautiful vegetables. Endives as a sample of their vegetables. 

So slow day in Vazille.  Just what we wanted. A beautiful dinner from Jessica and some 5 Crowns card games before that  I think I won one  

Nice conversations after that and then to bed.  

Well not quite. Since it had rained, snails were everywhere. Jessica invited me to see them and help capture them to prevent them from eating the plants. Quite a harvest of Escargot. A nice ending to the day.
