Say fromage!

Here are a few of the photos I took in France. Some of them will poof out in a couple of days. I might post more another day after I see what I've got.



This is the little house where EGM, his parents, brother, sister-in-law, and I stayed. It's tucked into a vineyard just outside a castle (with a now-dry moat!).


*POOF!*

This is us at the bridge over the moat to the fields behind the castle. Sigh...



The view from a high point in St Emilion, with endless vineyards in the distance.



So much cheese at a stall at the Libourne market.



So much wine at a winery we visited.



The 86-year-old winemaker is on the right. He seriously is wearing a beret.


*POOF!*

And finally, EGM and me at the wedding. The expression on his face is fairly representative.

The vineyards! The cheese! It all looks lovely. And you look like you had a wonderful time (at least at the wedding). Welcome back!

Looks gorgeous. I have a friend who just took a 4-month visiting researcher position about a half hour south of Paris. I'm hoping to get over there while he's there.

NOOOO, I missed it and it went POOF!

Sounds like you had a great time and have seen some cool things (never been to France, so a little jealous here). Next time, bring back cheese ;)

Sorry, Sciencegirl. I hate when that happens, but I didn't want to leave them up too long.

EGM couldn't understand why I posted pictures of us (I thought you wanted to be anonymous?). I enjoy it so much when other bloggers post photos because it usually shatters whatever image of them I had created. I like anonymity in part because it removes any biases based on physical appearance, but it's still really fun to get to see who has been doing the writing. So that's why I posted face pictures. Not that any of yu asked. :)
