Excursions

I've never been on a cruise and, to be honest, have not ever had the desire, but this river cruise we're going on sounds divine, I must say. Just the beginning and end sound so...French: Lyon to Avignon. Mais oui.

Actually, I had to look up how to pronounce Avignon. When I listen to this it reminds me of those Grey Poupon commercials. "But of course." The guy pronouncing it seems to say, "But of course you know you say it like this" just in the inflection. As Steve Martin says, "It's like those French have a different word for everything." I think you -- and all those with me -- are going to get really tired of that reference -- it comes to my mind all the time. And cracks me up every time.

So, anyway, excursions. Our river tour itinerary (Paris is the week before):

The tour includes: a wine tour, some city walking tours, a "mini-train," and a steam train tour. The extra excursions we signed up for are: Pérouges Walking Tour, Les Baux & Carrières de Lumières Show, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tour & Tasting. Say that 3 times fast. Ha. I can't say it 1 time slow!

I think I better start walking more faithfully every day to get in shape for all this!
