A truly delightful afternoon in Normandy with Karina (from our time here 20 years ago) and her lovely family, Vincent and Gabriel. We enjoyed a picnic at their house outside in the rain, and in true Norman fashion, the weather changed and we spent a sunny afternoon at the beach. The kids became fast friends as they built an emperor's palace out of shells for the crabs they found (evidence that we've been visiting lots of royal places lately). Lots of stories and laughing--we're already looking forward to another visit soon.
