I ended up here because I participated in a study abroad program in college. I met some amazing friends that year - 25 years ago now. In 2003, Frédéric and I went to visit one of those friends, Brienne, and her family in California.
Here we are 18 years after that, and her son has graduated, so she brought him on a trip to France and we got to catch up again!
Today we visited la Caverne du Dragon, the California plateau, the Vauclair Abbey, and the memorial church in Cerny-en-Laonnois. Benjamin acted as our chauffeur.
