After a wonderful long weekend in Porto we headed to France for Captain Ward’s training sessions ....we stayed in the cutest little French town called Cote Saint Andre close to the Rhone Alps .
While the boys went to “ school” at Port Revel playing with cool model boats the girls were taken site seeing along the gorgeous French countryside . Our first day we visited a medieval fortified city where I discovered that a former Duke from the 13 th century bearing my maiden name lived here at one time. Coolest thing ever to find your ancestry by accident. We even have our own wine !
Another day we visited the chartreuse Mountain monastery and learned all about the herbal magical drink made by monks called chartreuse!! Will heal what ails ya ..that’s for sure .
