Week 2 cont.

May 24:
Played tennis with Heather, Sharon, and Anna near a quaint village near Jerome and Sharon's house.
Then took a footpath to another village where we rested and ate crisps while watching what appeared to be a classic tractor show.
We had dinner with Jon and Heather and afterwards watched Britain's Got Talent with Ellie, Alexandra, and Katie.

May 25:
Spent the day in London. Went to the National Gallery, Tate Modern, Covent Gardens, and visited fairy tale festival. .
We got back just in time to eat a great meal with the family, plus a few. Heather seems to always have a full house. Thanks to all of Lisa's family for treating us so well. We enjoyed being with you all.

England Favorite:
Lisa: playing tennis
Denise: the footpaths

May 26: travel to France
Made our way to Dover, England where we took a ferry to Calais, France. Walked to our campsite near the sea. Explored Calais, got fresh bread, and watched Lisa run for about an hour.

May 27:
Took a train to Paris. Took an hour walk to our campsite, with backpacks on.

May 28:
Went into Paris to see about our chances of getting into Roland Garros, the French Open. As luck would have it, we found the correct line and caught two night matches. Our favorite was Ferrero vs Kohlschreiber.

May 29:
Spent the day touring, or shall I say walking, Paris. We figured it up to about 13 miles or so. We will get pictures up as soon as possible.
We continue to be amazed at how God has blessed us, even in small ways of allowing us to meet some interesting people in the ticket line and the street vendor near Notre Dame Cathedral.

France Favorite:
Lisa: the French Open
Denise: the beach at Calais

May 30: travel to Netherlands
