June 30th (cloudy, dry)
After such a long driving day yesterday, we woke up later and took our time this morning. Decided to get groceries and visit two beautiful towns called Chantilly and Senliss. After the farmer’s market in Chantilly, we visited a chateau and gardens and walked around the town and did our usual visit to the local cemetery. George was particularly interested in how many English names and epitaphs appeared on the tombstones.
After that, we drove to Senliss which was also just like it was out of a fairytale storybook. Lately, we have been witness to wedding gatherings while we have been walking about. My knee was bothering me more than usual today, so we did not walk around as much as we would have liked so we drove to Criel to find an internet café to download the blog.
George made mention that France’s colonial past has now come home to roost as it has in Great Britain. In talking with the locals, colored and white, they admitted that there are huge racial problems in the country. We were lucky enough to be at this campground when a baptism was held in the swimming pool by a large congregation of people from Martinique and Guataloupe.
