Dana Comes to Visit

     Meet Averil's way-cool cousin, Dana Rothrock:


     Dana is from Philadelphia.  Dana was an art teacher at a school in Philadelphia.  Then she decided she wanted to go and teach English in Spain for a year.  She's living in Madrid . . . the same year we happen to be living in France.  So she came to stay with us for the weekend!

     On Saturday we went to the outdoor market in Ste.-Cecile-Les-Vignes.  Here are some pictures:




     Dana is the daughter of Averil's dad's brother.  She's 28 years old.  She lives in an apartment in Madrid and takes the bus to the school where she teaches, in the mountains 45 minutes outside of Madrid.  

     Saturday afternoon she watched Ford and Asha do horsing:



     On Sunday we rented bikes and went for a fun and long bike ride on little-used roads behind Vaison.  We started off through vineyards and ended with a climb to the tiny town of Crestet.  When we stopped for a picnic, Averil accidentally ate part of the label she had included with everyone's sandwiches.  Everyone laughed.  Here are biking day photos:








     It was tiring, but lots of fun.  We're sad that Dana has to go back to Madrid on Monday.  But we'll see her again in May when we pass through Spain on a trip of our own!

     Ivy the still-conehead says, "Bye!"
