Greetings from Chinon in the Loire Valley:

I picked up Jennifer at the airport and we spend three days in Paris, before heading SW.  We have now completed riding the Loire Valley and are getting ready to head south towards Dordgone and Spain.  Paris was wonderful and we have now seen Chateaus in Blois, Chaumont, Amboise, Chinonceaux, Azay le Rideau, and Chinon. 

The photos should provide some idea of the excitment of the trip.  It has been great, the weather has been very cooperative (sunny but not too hot, with occasional rain showers to cool things down), and the food just great! 

Miss you all, Behrooz

  1. Behrooz: What a great trip you're having - I love all the photos! Lillian and I head off on our Mediterranean cruise today. We'll land in Paris in about 13 hours. You've inspired me to set up my own Blog for our trip.

    Enjoy the rest of your adventure. See you next month!

  2. Hi Behrooz,
    Keep up the great blog. You seem to be having some great meals.
    Have you seen any of Le Tour de France? I'll be in England and France in August and Belgium and Germany early Sept.
