A vacationing family from church lent us their car for a couple of weeks while they are away. It has been so incredibly great to have the freedom of a car (especially to avoid the smelly metro this time of year!) My mom, her neighbor Amanda, Alan and I headed south of Paris to a chateau called Vaux-le-Vicomte and then on to Fontainebleau. We enjoyed lunch, walking around town and sitting by a canal in the woods of Fontainebleau.
The ladies were cooling off by dipping their feet in the canal. I was too afraid that if I got down on the ground I wouldn't be able to get back up or else fall into the water!
