Bill and Hunter's France Adventure The plane borg cube. Everyone has their own little screen. Driving through Paris traffic on the way to Pont-Aven, where Hunter has been studying for the month of June. Finally I arrive! After 1 hour on the subway, 2 hours waiting at the airport, 1 hour flying, 4 hours waiting, 7 hours flying, and 8 hours driving! With only 2 hours of sleep mixed in. This was the longest day of my life (literally). It's been a month! My Hunny! The "pont" (bridge) of Pont-Aven. No blue allowed. Who's that cutie? Flowers grow out of the walls here. More beautiful Pont-Aven. Pont-Aven from above. The crucifix that inspired Gaugin's Yellow Christ. Approaching the massively impressive Mont-Saint Michel. The top of Mont-Saint Michel at night.

We drove through a small town called "Autreche". Hmm.. Here we are in Amboise. We ate here. Cliff dwellers in Amboise. Beautiful sunset. Chambord castle.
