Mo Travels summer, or what I like to call
Trains, Planes and Automobiles 2012 is finally underway, and being the
repeat offenders that we are, that pretty much means following the same route through France we have taken in years past on our way to
Porquerolles, with a few stops along the way.
Day 1 & 2
On day one, we drive through torrential rains in Holland and Belgium, and arrive in Paris, which is a little soggy, as well. As much as we love Paris, we were only there briefly.
Just long enough to put our car on the
auto train, and since It also happened to be
Bastille Day, to enjoy some of the celebrations going on, including a spectacular fireworks display at the
Eiffel Tower.
As I mentioned before
we don't usually celebrate the 4th of July, however, since our annual summer pilgrimage to France often coincides with the Bastille Day and celebrating a nation's independence day in July with fireworks and surrounded by plenty of red, white and blue I kinda feel like I get to have my freedom fries and eat them, too.
During our brief stay, we checked into the
Hotel St. James Paris, which quite honestly should be renamed Hotel St. Rubin as many times as we've stayed there. The little ladies where babies the first time we stayed there, and feel as at home there as they do in their own home. I guess that's one of the great advantages of repeatedly going to the same places.
After one night in our home away from home, we
took a plane to Toulouse where we picked up the car from the train station and will spend the next few days.
