Here we go again! Bonjour Provence!

Today will be one week that we have been back in Le Thor and it seems like so much has happened. We arrived at sunset and the sky began to turn rose...or rosé rather!

The last few weeks in Portland were rather “mouvementés” to say the least! On April 2nd we welcomed a new family member...Jacques Otto Paris much to the delight of big sister Méline.

We were also hosted for lovely dinners and weekends by friends we enjoy in Oregon...

We left Portland via Calagary which is quite a cowboy town. The airport is very pretty and calm.

It made me think of Portland in the 70’s and there is an amazing glass wall sculpture in the International terminal created by an artist to represent the mountains which surround Calgary.

Our hotel was right in the terminal and we spent the next day on a short visit into the city. Calagary is a city with lots of contrasts with really futuristic buildings rising up among the old western style buildings. Even the policemen wear cowboy hats.

We went to the Glenbow museum which is a real treasure and was showing several, contrasting exhibits. A historic exhibit of Christian Dior fashion...sort of a mini version of the one I saw in Paris. They also had going a fabulous exhibit of Native Peoples which was incredible.

Our flight left in the evening so we headed back to the airport to take our flight to Marseille via London. It was a long trip back to Provence.

Speaking of long trips...on Saturday we will drive to Bretagne to visit “maman”. The last time we drove there Maya was six and it was LONG. This time I think we will stop in Angers which I have never visited so I will say à bientôt mes amis.
