We are heading back to France for a month....to get GIGI ready for her nanny duty in the fall...and she is going with only a carry-on...can you imagine! So throughout this blog if you see us in the same clothes, it doesn't mean that is necessarily the same day!! Learning to live in stinky clothes!!!
Thank you Kyle for all the hard work!!! Because Kyle is an employee at SkyWest...his parent have travel benefits, including flying business class to France....what a difference!!
White table cloths...6 choices of wine...a dinner menu....any mixed drink...they even warmed the cashews and almonds...gave you a travel kit of a blindfold/mask, socks...waited on you!!
So 1st class seats turn into a bed (top picture)...we had business class that reclined like a Lazy Boy...business class was better than a typical 1st class domestic flight. Everyone was passed out sleeping in both cabins...I looked back at the economy class...I admit it I looked down at their position in life!!
So after we landed in Paris, we jumped on the TGV (high speed train) to the the South of France in the city of Marseille...where Ella and Gerald live.,This is Ella's and Gerald new place....they have the upstairs with a gorgeous view (see below) of the city of Marseille...and as you can see...fortified...have to get past the front door (heavy metal) or have a tall ladder to get inside!
Linda and her Aunt Ella (Simone's younger Sister) and Gerald...these are special people!!
Outdoor Dining Room....
Yes I am still working...have technology will travel....the office is in the patio garden...
Gerald opening an almond from his tree in the patio garden that I call my office!
What is left of a wine cellar left behind....2 bottle that date back 40 and 50 years old!! Not any good anymore but an interesting conversation piece.
The apartment is a mile from the Mediterranean....cool breezes...and the feel of a port city! This is the view from there deck! The island that you see is where they filmed the movie, The Count of Monte Christo...Chateau d'If of Marseille: the prison of the Count of Monte Cristo
Highest point in Marseille....spectacular landmark...can see from everywhere in the city.
Notre Dame le gard at night!!
