It was a terrific way to see the country, meet people and be part of the community. I can only think that walking through the country would have enhanced the experience even more! <br />Additionally, my two granddaughters are so used to taking long hikes with their parents, that they are the ONLY children NOT crying for a stroller at amusement parks! I am so grateful my son has taught the girls the value of a good walk!<br />MCatherine<br />Fellow SheWrites MemberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-84550333491196079462011-08-07T05:34:59.022-05:002011-08-07T05:34:59.022-05:00Hi Julie,

We rented a house at the foot of Chateauneuf-en-Auxois and although the whole month of June was very rainy, we had a wonderful time in this very special part of France. Your photos are amazing, and I loved reading about your own experiences.<br /><br />ColetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-6571838506666770462011-08-06T16:40:22.919-05:002011-08-06T16:40:22.919-05:00I remember walking to school and all the Girl Scou...I remember walking to school and all the Girl Scout hikes we took.

Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Europe, but it is located in France, not in Switzerland. It is located 90 kilometers from Lake Geneva, it is so high that it gives the impression that it is in Switzerland, but it is not.<br /><br />ColetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-76530515499313726332011-08-06T09:25:48.360-05:002011-08-06T09:25:48.360-05:00OMG, what amazing photos.

Thanks for reminding me that a walker can also be a "promeneur". I always fret when setting out with the French for a hike. How high will we go? For how long will we walk? In the end, it always feels so good to arrive back (those endorphins!) and, what better way than by singing?Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280603351712810982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-6218609729821303372011-08-05T14:39:06.915-05:002011-08-05T14:39:06.915-05:00Good for you, Julie, that you raised your kids to ...Good for you, Julie, that you raised your kids to walk. We've done the same, and my daughter now complains that long school days keep her from using her legs. As you know, we've been hiking a lot on our road trip this summer and the kids never complain. In fact, they will complain if the hike is not "fun" enough, meaning there's not enough climbing involved.Annette Gendlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006606888883773812noreply@blogger.com
