Thanks to the computer wizard I am able to blog France!

These pics are from the last few days of our visit to Bourgogne! We visited some chateaus and had fabulous food. This is Chateauneuf, very old.

It rained most of the days we were in France. Nice , cool, light rain.
Nana, Bridgette, and myself (it is so weird to post pictures of me).

It was fun to think about what went on in these rooms. Wars, dances, lovers quarrels.

Whoever built this one liked a big blaze.

We had just a bit of fun in this part of the chateau.

We went for a long hike in the vineyards just above Beaune.

Alli and J.P. were such excellent hosts that we never wanted to leave.

Inside Chateauneuf!

I picked this room, I loved the toile walls and linens.

The floors! Very grand!

I loved the foliage in France. I saw quite a few of the same plants that we have in Utah! Much more lush and beautiful there. You never saw dirt, every space was filled with plants.

Chateau de Commarin!

A real moat! Most of the moats were not full of water.

The churches and cathedrals were one of my favorites.

Oh.............

Chateau Pommard!

Claudia showing us how to eat escargot.

Most of the time I was eating it I didn't even realize it. I loved in in some sort of sauce that we had a wonderful place with John Paul.

Not only were the desserts in France tasty, they were works of art!

Chateau Pommard kitchen garden!

Nanna in the kitchen garden, sitting in front of the lily pad pond.

Alli and Bridge in the kitchen garden.

You would not believe the aroma of the roses in this garden.

The French love rose flavor in a lot of their desserts. I had creme brulee, macaroons, and a pastry with rose flavor.

Chateau Pommard!

I came home to this little ballerina and her very first debut.

I haven't downloaded the rest of the photos, so more to come.

Roman Catholic Mass, in French! (Okay, some parts were Latin)

The Catholic Churches are beautiful here. I take photos of them all. I will make a larger blog when I get home.
The closest LDS branch is a bit of a ways and not wanting to put out Alli we decided to walk next door to the Catholic Church. I have been to numerous Mass' considering the fact that my fathers side of the family are all of that religion. Mostly mass weddings!
The organist was a pro, what amazing music. I loved how there was music throughout the entire hour. The robes were magnificent. There was a window up high that let in rays of sunlight that enhanced the beauty of the church. We sat on wooden and wicker chairs. At times during the Priests sermon that individual from the congregation would speak.
The alter boys were adorable. The bells that call the people to church were charming.
Over all it was an amazing experience. I love taking in all of the culture of France.
