This morning we packed up all of our stuff since we won’t be back at the Maria’s and Memo’s for several days. Then we took off towards the south of France. The wedding is on Wednesday so we decided to head down a day before our friends. When I was a missionary, I had been in Grenoble, France for about five months, and I loved the city. A lot of the people I knew had moved away (I actually visited one of the families in Arizona on our RV trip last summer), or I had lost contact with them. There was one family that I wanted to see though so we stopped in Grenoble.
We stayed the night with our friends Jean-Paul and Martine and their family. There oldest daughter Diane and her family even came over to hang out and have dinner with us. Before dinner the family took us on a short hike in the Gorge du Furon. It was a hike that I had done before and loved. At first the kids were complaining a little because it was warm, but once you get into the little canyon, it really cools off and is beautiful.
Then at one point, we came to a place where we could wade in the river and play in the water, and the kids had a ball; I think it was one of the highlights of the trip for them. Both Alex and Zac were completely soaked by the time they were done, and we had to drag them out of the river.
On the way back to our friends’ house, we picked plums, and then we had a very nice dinner together. They were very kind to us, and we’re trying to talk them into a visit to California.

oh how fabulous! The river glen looks cool and inviting, and I think the picture of Becky with the hatful of plums is one of the most gorgeous ones of her EVER!

Your hike into the cool canyon looks so inviting. I agree with Kaye, the picture of you, Becky, is stunningly beautiful! It would be a good choice to have framed. I hope the wedding is wonderful, and you all have a fabulous time. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your adventures with us.
Love, Amy
