Tomorrow I will receive the absolute best birthday present ever, a 16 day trek across France with Peter. We are so excited to practice our French and experience the culture of all the different regions of the country. Peter has organized an awesome itinerary that starts in the northeast of the country with the Beaches of Normandy and ends in the French Alps. As we have experienced a little case of "beach withdrawal" since leaving Jacksonville, we are going to spend a total of 8 of our days in two different beach towns in the south. We are hoping to have internet access at least a couple of times so that we can update the blog with new pictures, and, most likely, some funny stories.

I'm including a picture in this post of our large and luxurious rental car. Hopefully all of our reservations pan out, because I'm pretty sure sleeping in it would be quite the tight squeeze. Hope all of you are doing well!
