Giverny to home

Friday morning in Giverny we had breakfast in our room. We had a baguette and croissants delivered fresh to our door. The OJ, yogurt, jams and butter were already in the fridge.

Around eleven we packed up and then went to see Monet’s grave in the cemetery.

Here rests our friend Claude Monet
On the 9th of June 1944 a British bomber was shot down near Giverny. The crew of seven were buried together in the Giverny church cemetery.
Packing up.

We drove to Orly airport. On the way we stopped for one last picnic lunch. I will miss French bread and cheese!

Picnic lunch

At Orly we turned in the car, checked in, and then spent a few hours in the lounge waiting for our 6:30 flight. our flight was long but uneventful. We landed in San Francisco at about 9:30. Allison picked us up at the airport. We spent the night in Walnut Creek then drove home the next day.

It was a fantastic trip. We are tired but very glad to be home. Soon Duke will get to work planning the next trip.
