Summer Vacation

Since it's now past January 30, the last official day you're allowed to wish someone Happy New Year in France, we can start contemplating the next great ritual. It's really not that early to be thinking about where you're going to be come mid-July. In fact, holiday rentals can start flying out the door even before Christmas. Will the Nardac be left wrong-footed? No! In fact, today I just confirmed that a vacation in the middle of Dordogne in an old mill next to creek surrounded by hectares of forest and fields, plus a gorgeous outdoor pool and satellite tele, has been booked! Me and 7 other lucky ones are going to be living it up with fois gras, Monbazillac and Tour de France come July. The number of participants could go up, once the others get a gander at our steal! But, since the forest is huge, I'm sure we could get some tents going. Party? PARTY!
