#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Home. Home after a long day of travel from Ardèche back to Paris and then to Boston. And a touch of drama: I came down with Lyme disease late last night. So, I'm especially glad to be home to take a dose of a much needed antibiotic. But posting these pictures now, I am a little sad, sentimental – what a trip! Our friend, and host in Ardèche, Patrice, this morning serenaded me, as he does when we are together, wherever we happen to meet, with songs by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and more. A sweet goodbye as rain lightly fell over the hills where the fog rose in patches. But no walk! The only steps I could manage today were to the train and to the plane and to the car and up the stairs to my bed to sleep and dream of all the wonders of the journey, for which I am sincerely grateful.
