La Ferté-Milon

My friend (and former coworker) Delphine came to stay with us this weekend. We used to have lunch together all the time at the law firm, but since I quit working there and we moved out to the middle of nowhere, getting together is much more difficult.

We visited the nearby town of La Ferté Milon Saturday afternoon, where there are castle ruins from the 14th-15th century. Apparently the castle, built by Louis d'Orléans, was never completed.






The town is on the Ourcq river, and there is a little park along the canals.

We really enjoyed the sunshine, which has been around for about a week now, and we hope it stays around a while longer. The long, gray winters get pretty depressing here, so the sun is a welcome change!

What a blessing to live in the midst of such history! Enjoy your scenery-it's more than what we have here most days!
