We are in the process of preparing for our return to France.
We are also looking for an apartment in Paris or the surrounding area, starting in mid-May 2010. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
Carl, Nadine and the kids left yesterday. We had a wonderful vacation with our Vergeze family. We took advantage of their visit to empty our bags and send back what we could to France. And then we filled them up again with sausages, pâté, salted cod [trans. note: apparently a specialty of Nimes], comté, camembert, foie gras, chestnut mousse and (real!) chocolate! Thanks so much to all the family for sending us these specialties from home! We’ve missed them. It’s like having a little piece of home that we’ll take on the road with us, and we can branch out from our regular tuna and tomato sandwiches!
Sébastien’s handle bar bag has decided to retire to France after many years of dedicated service, and so we’ve replaced it with a brand new one.
We weren’t able to visit any microfinance institutions in San José, but we have a good contact in Siquirres, a little village on the way to Panama. We hope to meet with them Wednesday or Thursday.
We’ve hadn’t actually said anything yet, but we think about it often: thanks so much to all those who are following our journey and lending us so much support. Our families let us know when they run into someone who is keeping up with our travels. Thanks also to all those who leave comments on our blog and messages in the livre d’or. It makes us really happy and encourages us to keep going!
Sara & Sébastien
